In a Wall Street Journal op ed piece today Carl Rove made some sense describing the significant changes in what works today in Presidential primary campaigns. Then he started to lose me:
…”- Ideas still matter. Both Democrats and Republicans are in spirited and, at times, heated contests. The difference is Democrats are running a nasty race that has as its subtext race and gender. The Republican race, on the other hand, is a serious debate about serious ideas. Over the last several months, we have been seeing men who represent different strands within the GOP battle each other. The debate can get personal at times-but at core the debate it is about ideas rather than personalities, which can no longer be said about the Democratic race.”

GOP good. Dems bad. Amazing isn’t it? We are certain of our realities yet we describe it so differently than others sometimes.
