Creating contact with voters. Amazing!! Your goal is trying to get people to vote for your candidate and here, the opposing campaign comes up with the unheard-of concept of talking to them. Wow, no wonder they won. Who would EVER have thought up such a brilliant devious scheme?

I'll tell y'all what's unbelievable--not that Obama's people thought to do that, but that Romney's people DIDN'T!!!
