This thing is astounding as political theater, if nothing else, although I tend to just think it's pretty astounding. It may just be more political messaging to you, but I think it matters tremendously that we've gone from talking about the fall of Rome to this.

The demographic in this video was a little too skewed for my taste. I would have liked to see some more Asian, Native American and Mexican individuals in there to really be impacted by the message of diversity they were shooting for. There was about a 7:1 woman to man ratio for the Caucasian people as well. The marketing of it felt transparent to me.

It wasn't sponsored by the campaign, rather it was a bunch of celebs who knew each other getting together, so it was self-selecting more than it was "hey, let's target so and so"

That's good to know, at least. I felt a bit manipulated but it, though.

I'm working on this whole Obama thing. I think I'm taking a little more of a shining to him, but it takes me time to trust.

Incidentally... (http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/112942.html?thread=7962414#t7962414)

I'm hoping that I'm not just causing trouble with that.

We're going to bed here now, but I will catch up with you on all of that tomorrow.
