Allen Weber’s Take On The World

It’s the day after “Super Tuesday” and I’m Shocked and Disappointed in the Clinton’s and Press

Here’s why you should be shocked too.

With the publicity machine the Clinton’s have — virtually ALL the general media, like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and their attitude of “The Clinton’s can do no wrong… and even if they did we’ll just spin it or cover it up” leading Democrat politicians and thought leaders, and the huge machine they have built (which is indeed extremely impressive). Hillary and Bill are getting their asses kicked.

In order to generate people to your side, you need to be able to reach them. In earlier times… that would be before the internet, it was exclusively through newspapers, television and radio.

The Clinton’s were masters at this. Getting the press to their side. Getting things spun in their favor. It is something to be in awe of. And everybody knows it.

A great propaganda trick they liked to use, especially during the impeachment investigation was to take some really damaging evidence and leak it. But leak it in a weak way, and at a time there was either a lot of news or no one was paying attention to the news — like say 4th of July. Then when it came out they could completely minimize it with a flick of the wrist and say “What?… That?… Why… that’s old news!” Insinuating you are far behind the times.

It is the same sort of trick Abraham Lincoln is famous for when he was a lawyer. He would argue/present his side and then argue/present his opponents side. Of course his opponents side was presented in a very weak manner. But the target audience (in Lincoln’s case, the jury) would have heard a “complete” story.

When the other side started presenting their side, the target audience would be bored. They heard it already. It was “old news”

So Why Did Obama Win So Much

He won: AK, AL, CT, CO, DE, GA, ID, IL, KS, MN, MO, ND, NM, UT

You would think with the decades of experience in politics the Clinton’s had to their advantage.

You would think that with the advantage of Bill’s popularity in the Democrat thinking.

You would think that with the powerful people coming out for Hillary.

You would think that with the inexperience of Obama he wouldn’t be able to win anything.

Propaganda, and Public Relations… No Matter How Good Can Not Power Over Unpopularity

In spite of the “Old Guard” Democrat support, and media’s wishes, Hillary is not really all that popular.

In fact she has extremely high negative ratings in registered Democrat voters.

I think she overplayed her hand.

I think she has not really come up with something people can grab on to. A symbol, or slogan. Her symbol seems to be “I’m a Clinton so I deserve to be in the White House”

And let’s face it, she’s not popular enough to pull that one off.
