We all know that the Republican Advertising Machine can market candidates and fool voters so well, that they have it down to a science.  Literally.

They have much more sophisticated voter databases than the Democrats that allows them to target individuals who are susceptible to a specific message.  While Democrats were worrying about the grassroots part of a campaign, the Republicans polished and refined their voter mailing list.

For instance, the Republicans can target people having problems with their mortgage and send them mailers that say, “During these times of economic crisis, when Americans are struggling, Barack Obama wants to make things more difficult for you by raising your taxes.”

I have heard that line from his surrogates over and over today, so it is obviously a talking point that they believe will be persuasive.

Barack Obama has started to respond, though slowly.  We would like to see much more of this kind of video.
