ReadabilityTabitha Hale absolutely nails it...
With this piece:
The Left understands that the low information voter is the norm, and their message is conveyed in a way that reaches the person who makes political decisions based on their friends Facebook posts. It’s subtle and many times it’s not even overtly political. The culture has embraced leftist ideology as a whole, because the Left has been able to infiltrate movies, music, social media, and television so that the majority of people don’t even know that their worldviews are being influenced.
The answer is that conservatives will continue to lose unless they understand that they need to take the fight to where people actually live.
If you don’t teach people won’t learn, in the old days the culture were the books and the stories and the church, now it’s the music, the TV and the movies.
We have to market Conservatism, not because it’s not the right way to live, but because people have to be constantly reminded of the truth.

You had a post about a week back about the polls and enthusiasm. But given that the election results seemed to contradict all of that, it seems like the topic of this post would go some lengths towards explaining that disparity. Are you planning to write a post evaluating your thinking on the polling leading up to the election? I’m not content to buy into the “moneyball” comparison of quantitative stats supremacy over punditry that’s currently being peddled around like the supposedly airtight argument that empirical support for evolution is somehow a disproof of God.
The explanation is pretty simple and actually comes from an interview I did a few weeks ago with a pollster on my show.
Not a bad idea for a post, though, I’ll likely hit that during the week.
So you don’t have to wait cheap & dirty version: The activist/voter geek are more likely be willing to give the time to be polled.
