It's the propaganda, stupid.
Not the economy. If the general public knew what DU knows and if the general public knew how shady the GOP propaganda machine is, it would think twice. Issues cannot outdo effective propaganda. Any advertiser knows that.

How does the Obama campaign fight that? Easy.

He calls for better education: 4 years of practical logic and civics in high school. Don't let the government lead by the nose. Knowledge is power and he wants to empower voters.

Call the logicians into the debate. Confirm this campaign propaganda machine is exactly like Bush's campaign propaganda machine.

Propaganda is emotion, personalities, not rational, if Obama want to focus on rational issues he has to expose propaganda for what it is.

1. But then how to get the message out if the MSM doesn't report?

2. Obama has to say it
The media will report it and have logicians as guests to try to explain it.

What the hell are fallacies?
