which were based on talking points already hammered on for months by Fox News and other anti-Obama pundits Not something I care to argue about, but that's pretty naive. Because talking points created by the liberal media resonated (Romney was rich elitist, republicans are anti-women etc.), not because voters are logically thinking about which would be the best candidate. Yes it does work both ways.
CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS are all the Democrat heavy media platforms. Are you saying that Fox have a bigger impact than all four of those media channels combined?
I seriously doubt our next president will be a Republican. Starts with candidates and who exactly do they have? I mean, I like guys like Rand Paul and ted Cruz but they won't win the nomination because they aren't "presidential material" in the eyes of the media and that would trickle down to the viewers of our biased media outlets.. My guess is we will be voting between a Kasich / Rubio and Clinton / Cuomo ballot.
The pundits spun the polls to make it look like Democrats had a real chance to maintain the senate. For every $ of real campaign money spent on ads there are several $ of free PR type ads in the form of 24/7 Fox and 24/7 MSNBC/NBC/ABC/CBS/CNN/NYTimes/WaPost/HuffPost/etc. Democrats ran from Obama. They didn't have him appear on their behalf. They were asked if they voted for him and supported his agenda and may refused to even answer (for fear of incrimination). The narrative told throughout the media was that the democrats had an awesome "get out the vote" machine that was going to make this election close. Like this one of many.
The obvious question is if Fox News talking points are so effective, how did Obama win in 2008 and 2012?
You suggest that living in the basement of their parents' house has changed their view of hope and change. Hopes dashed.
No idea what you are trying to say. I was suggesting that midterm voters tend to be older and whiter than in presidential years. barfo
The young Obama voters weren't motivated to get off their asses or cross the street for, let alone vote for, your kind.
You'll notice, however, that no one here fell for that line, unlike last time, when certain people here were totally taken with the concept of 'unskewing' the polls. barfo

Let's just pause for a moment and consider the poor taste involved in using the word "backlash" in reference to injury caused to a person of Obama's heritage.
