Saying "George Felix Allen, Jr." doesn't win a whole lot of votes, but changing the narrative from "Allen the cowboy" to "Allen the aristocrat" does. Saying GFAJr directly keys into the second narrative.<BR/><BR/>With that said, I think we definitely could have painted Bush with the "son of privelage" narrative, but there's the entire problem of both Gore and Kerry having been equally privelaged. Unfortunately, though, I don't think George Walker Bush doesn't do a whole lot for us-- after all, Walker, Texas Ranger was the ultimate Texas cowboy.Orhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13252827101233849690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13465421.post-1151733809068051572006-07-01T02:03:00.000-04:002006-07-01T02:03:00.000-04:00or, i think you're so right, and the webb campaign...or, i think you're so right, and the webb campaign, especially steve jarding have been brilliant in this regard, i wonder how the 2004 election would have turned out had kerry referred to bush as George Walker Bush. maybe not a win, but some movement, perhaps.Adam Hearts Demshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891667037475464359noreply@blogger.com
