Fortier: Old School Tactics Bring Down GOP

For instance: Tried and true, McCain sought the Evangelical community. Definitely "old school." While Obama locked-up the avant-garde "American-hating" preacher constituency. McCain tried to rally the people around important domestic issues. Meanwhile Obama wrapped-up the support of unrepentant domestic terrorists. McCain got the Wall Street vote. Obama got the street thug vote. McCain thought he'd win with the help of the Silver Foxes. Obama won with the help of the Black Panthers. Learning nothing from the Clinton campaign, McCain went after the not so glamorous, freedom-loving military personnel. Not Obama. He went with the "vogue" Jew-hating militant professors. McCain played by the established rules and went to senior citizen communities in Florida to court the "almost dead" vote. Obama, on the other hand, used his new friends in the Chicago Mob to raise the "already dead" vote/Marty Fortier, CDA Press. More here.

Question: What do you think of Marty Fortier's analysis of Barack Obama's presidential victory?
