What If It Were More Than An Infomercial?
This article by me first appeared in Pajamas Media. If you are reading this, you are not the target of Senator Obama’s 30-minute media buy. Which surely means, since I am writing, that neither am I the target. Good thing, too — I was disappointed. Oh, sure, my eyes teared up at the right moments,…
