Yesterday I posted a piece regarding my opposition to the Gore candidacy called Why Al Gore will not be…SHOULD not be…the 2008 Dem candidate.
In it I said…as I have said before…that I think there has already been some kind of deal struck between Hillary Clinton , the people who really own and control the Democratic Party and Barack Obama. and that it is going to be a Hillary/Obama ticket in ’08 unless something truly untoward happens. It may be a tacit deal, a silent understanding, but it’s right there in your face if you take a look at the (Ugh!!!) media.
I also said that I thought that Al Gore is essentially an untalented candidate and therefore a very bad one.
Both here and on My Left Wing I received mixed reactions. VERY mixed. Agreements, revulsion at the stark truth of political marketing, anger that I was somehow shilling for Obama and/or Ms. Clinton, reactions about how unattractive either or both of them are (Based on sexual/political understandings, mostly. Like “I wouldn’t want to sleep with them so they NOT marketable. So there!!!”), etc.
So I posted the reply below.
As y’all must be tired of hearing by now, I believe in the idea of “As above, so below.” That is, the concept that the laws that apply to any level of the universe also apply to all the other levels as well.
Well, that has a corollary, as all good laws must. It goes for side to side as well.
Marketing is marketing, whether it’s political marketing, automotive marketing, financial marketing or toilet paper marketing.

And I think that SUVs and steroided-out looking Schwarzeneggermobiles of all sorts are absolutely hideous looking.

Let ALONE criminally wasteful.
But massive advertising budgets have sold them. In the millions. To the same goddamned fools who vote.
They could NOT have sold Kucinichmoblies.
Not over the last several years. Too wimpy looking, given the red alert terror scam.
But Schwarzeneggermobiles???
No problem.
Now, however, they are selling slicker looking cars.

Smoooooother.
Red alert’s almost over.
Time for the slicksters to do their thang.
Thus…Obamamobiles.
They sell what they can sell.
That’s the art of advertising.
So it goes.
Time for a NEW scam.
So it goes.
AG
P.S Goremobiles are also a hard sell these days.
Whereas Hillarymobiles
appear to be a a goddamned GROWTH industry.
So it goes.
