Frank should give Steve a call

The Agony of Frank Luntz - Molly Ball - The Atlantic

I haven't really noticed this Frank Luntz before, but given that he is a right wing figure who appears to have slid in depression after Obama's election win, and blames it all on Obama being a divisive figure who is ruining society, he should get on the phone to Australia's own analyst of the "damaged women" who foolishly voted for Obama, Steven Kates.    They appear to have much in common. 

(Actually, at least Luntz has enough nous to recognise Romney made major campaigning mistakes.  I don't think Kates has even acknowledged that.   But their insistence that the problem is with a large slab of the public - which was just too stupid to understand - marks both of them as political dunderheads.)

Romney's biggest campaign mistake was that he ran for office. He never had a chance. Some of course couldn't see that. Remember all those Cats predicting a big Romney win? Talk about wishful thinking. I kept a copy of those predictions, it was quite incredible that so many saw Romney getting 300+. I trust Kates is taking his meds though if truth be known most antidepressant use is useless.

Romney is a good bloke but was the wrong candidate. The GOP now has a huge demographic problem that could see them lose the next election. They need to stop whining about the "stupid populace" and how the Left has hijacked the public discourse(which is admission that the lefties are too smart for them ) and start thinking about how to revive the USA instead of vilifying people all the time.
