So far:
too many porta pottys at their rallies.
too many empty seats in Michigan.
too many booked rooms in Las Vegas (the casino wants them to pay up for their reservation commitments)
too few of viewers of the GOP convention (down 31% from four years ago)
too few of folks to show up for Herman Cain's capitulation gala.
too many unsold tickets for "Rock the Red".
As you can see......I'm keeping a running tally.
There simply isn't enough angry old men too keep it going and when they do show it is a blase affair. This is Darwin economics at it's finest. They are being destroyed by the very philosophy they swear by.
The angry old men have prescriptions to pay for and the billionaires are investing in television instead of the grass roots. Why? Because it is the manner in which CEOs are accustomed to with regard to communicationg with the ordinary Joe. They scoff at community organizing and put money down the television sink hole instead. What is lovely about all of this is that TV watchers have left TV advertising behind with the advent of automated digital video recording. The billionaires have no idea how to create a movement except to invest in "skipped" TV ads.
Edit: Look for some new legislation to be purchased by the billionaire club prohibiting people from using tecnology to skip their advertising. I'm not joking. Look how tough it was to stop unrestricted phone solicitation. Especially when it is used for political purposes.
