It's interesting that you mention radio, as during the 1960 debates the viewers thought Kennedy won, but the radio listeners thought Nixon won. That was a key turning point in modern politics. Image over substance.

Its: This is how I analyze the election. Obama soared with a message of change. He was going to bring us together and change the way things were done in Washington, get the troops our etc. It was brilliant. Then along came Reverend Wright and he became just another lying politician. This reinforced the idea that he was just anothe politician and effectively his message of change lost its credibility. But the lesson of Obama's ascendence was that Americans desperately want change. McCain picks Palin, maybe because she was a woman, or maybe he saw how he could blend his Maverick Image and her novelty and reputation as a reformer into a message of change. By luck or design, he hijacked the issue from Obama. Election over. McCain wins. Then of course we won't have any real change and the electorate will become more cynical and distrustful, if that is possible, of politicians. Little joe
