Comments on: Obama steps up attacks on Romney, looks for ways to capture missing campaign energy http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/43889 The oldest political news site on the Internet Thu, 23 May 2013 16:02:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Issodhos http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/43889/comment-page-1#comment-199503 Issodhos Sun, 27 May 2012 16:34:33 +0000 http://www.capitolhillblue.com/?p=43889#comment-199503 That “campaign energy” was, as the English say, a one-off. It depended upon an unknown politician who was mistaken for a statesman/leader/messiah (pick your favorite descriptive), and who could effectively speak the general rhetoric that left the modern faux liberal folk experiencing a thrill up their collective leg. It was also a contest between a young ‘black’ — but not too ‘black’ — man versus an old, gray-haired woman who waa correctly recognized as political to the core. He was going to be the antithiesis of Bush, but demonstrated that in a number of areas he was simply continuing Bush’s policies while serving the same ultimate master.

As a result of three years of viewing an unclothed emperor, any “campaign energy” that is being generated is on the Republican side with its frothing eagerness to toss Obama out and replace him with anyone but Obama.

The party hacks of both sides are probably the last remaining sources of “campaign energy” that will be found. Modern faux liberals and progressives (a.k.a. faux liberals in hiding) and the once conned Young … not so much.
