Whoops, poli's bad.

Was taking what was said in the Politico article and just tying it to what was said in The Grio article, especially what was said about Romney (and yes, took a long breath before reading the Romney part). It should be taken with a grain of salt, but still.

Should not have mentioned the Grio, but it talked about the likability issue last week with Obama and Romney. You might have been looking at the right site. They have a Politics section (though the comments from some articles are infested with trolls).

It talked about each presidential race and how the likability issue was a reason that the presidents won (and stole).

In the Politico issue they used the same memes that Kerry could not .... like Romney, therefore, I decided to state what I felt about this all. America can be very fickle. Props to France and would love to study French one day.

This wasn't meant to take anything away from the Senator is doing right now. It is just too bad that that he (and Momma T) can't have an outlet like the extrovert pols (like wisteria said a few years ago--paraphrasing) to prove the memes that Bush cronies left behind wrong. He may not be defined by them, but that is what people remember. And our side will probably use them to make both prove a true point about Romney and make Obama look good, (though the Bush comparison makes O look bad).

Wasn't expecting people to agree with me, but it's just an observation.
