What Barack Obama is teaching brands and media about young consumers’ brand loyalty

November 4, 2009

The news media is all abuzz about explanations as to why Barack Obama voters did not come out to elect Jon Corzine in New Jersey and Creigh Deeds in Virginia. It must be the Obama effect or a referendum on the Obama administration spending, health care, etc. And they seem genuinely surprised!
It’s just not that [...]

It is not about the weather, people

January 29, 2009

Barack Obama made one comment about schools closing because of a little bit of snow. According to the Washington Post, he said:
My children’s school was canceled today… Because of what? Some ice? . . . We’re going to have to apply some flinty Chicago toughness to this town.
And he wasn’t really talking about the weather. [...]

What would you do if you had $1 million dollars?

Appeasing the under-educated white guy

May 18, 2008

Since Hillary’s win in North Carolina last Tuesday, the “news cycle” has been all about how Barack Obama is going to get the “under-educated, white man” vote. After watching news story after news story on this, a very large question suddenly dawned on me:

Party? What party?

May 5, 2008

I was settling in and almost asleep when some idiot on CNN was railing on and on about how this Clinton/Obama race is tearing the party apart, that it is bad for the Democrats, that they need to heal together to win the election in November. And, then as I hit that level of rage [...]
