xoB, I think there's an element of that. The old school pols know how a "regular" election works and who votes in one and how to convince them to vote your way. They get confused when outside forces come in an change things.

Arnie went on the Tonight Show to announce for Governor, and D pol Susan Estrich deeply criticized him for it. This is not how campaigns are supposed to run! You are supposed to have press releases go out on the day of the announcement with a conference on the capitol steps. Nobody's gonna get any play out of being on the Tonight Show!

Yeah, Ms. E., I guess maybe that's how it used to work... maybe when Jack Paar was host... but now Kerry has even done The Daily Show. Things are different now.
