I know what you are saying, but because their politics are based on emotion, when things start to go wrong, they swing fast. An intellectual swing is often a slow measured swing- after all, it's dependent on logic, but when you think about emotional swings, they happen VERY quickly, and they don't need to be based on logic, but sometimes just on critical mass- so this actually bodes well for Obama, who apparently appeals to the emotional.
These big butted overall wearing folks have lost sons and daughters. Emotionally they were sold a war that had some connection with 9/11, and a war they thought would be quick, and positive- remember, we are not dealing with logic here, but emotion. The disenchantment these folks feel must be huge. Obama is religious, and he is inspirational. He doesn't need to get all these emotional people to follow him, just enough- and the emotional momentum is all on his side. |
