A Bloomberg recent news article reported that both campaigns agree that this race will be won/lost by woman 54 and older (and we know Obama isn't exactly burning up the turf with voters over 65 either). Well here's a hint why McCain is coming on and Obama is stagnant (from a woman in her 60's). All I hear is about all the cute clips and ads and jingles and whatever on the web. Elders don't "surf the web" just like McCain can't even e-mail! If you are going to make a dent in the population you need to make a dent in, these "cute" things need to be TV ads that the elders can see between their "programs". So stop laughing at McCain's team for not being very computer saavy---they are pumping out the ads that are effecting Obama greatly. You can keep the youngins' entertained all you want; but when push comes to shove you better start learning what "media" gets to the old crowd and learn it fast--or go door to door and give Grandma a crash course on why she would just have a hoot looking a YouTube or whatever the thing is called. McCain crowd knows how to reach this voting block and we don't.
