Elections shifted long ago and around the world - from functioning at
the ³interpretive level² to primarily operating on the ³reflective level.²
They are more about feelings, images, associations and connections no
matter their validity than they are about substance, policies, and
direction. The politicians operate in the same way major advertising does.
Driving X car is not going to get you that svelte woman sitting on the hood,
but the image and connection has been made.
If Obama¹s opposition in the Democratic party and far beyond can tar him
with a ³tainted² brush, some will regard that paint - the connections,
however spurious, as real. He can denounce Wright all he likes, but I
suspect the connection has been made in the minds of those who do not think
beyond the reflective level.
