Um, You Think They Didn't Know?

By Big Tent Democrat

Ezra Klein treats his readers like rubes:

In mounting a furious -- but basically hopeless -- campaign, however, Clinton is exposing Obama's weaknesses, but not gaining any real advantage from them. McCain's folks, by contrast, might have previously suspected that they should target white, economically depressed states like Pennsylvania and Ohio, but now they have a precinct-by-precinct map of where Obama underperforms, ready narratives to activate in their negative campaigning (they don't have to grope around to create a line of attack), and a media thats now convinced of his vulnerabilities.

(Emphasis supplied.) You gotta be kidding me. Maybe Ezra did not know about the geography and the demography, but I can assure you the Republicans did. Talk about disrespecting your readership.

No endorsement (I have not had a chance to read it), but here is Lukasiak on the election.
