Nothing to do with convict land.  My point was it's an exercise in marketing to the masses and the bookies laugh all the way to the bank.

Proof that a population is just as easily manipulated as it was in 1930s Germany. 
 
Sort of like any religious thought . It is an exercise in marketing to the masses and the 'leaders' laugh all the way to the bank. Talk about lemmings being manipulated. 🙂
 
giddy up ol' fella.  😉

Pondering your "narrow acceptable scope" comment I did find myself watching the election news on a commercial news channel last night.  I only watch sports on commercial TV and get most of my news content from internet and static pictures - and I can't get streaming videos at work etc.

I was quite shocked to realise I don't think I'd seen Palin in TV pictures until last night (thank goodness).  But I did realise that my intake of news is quite different from the broad populace in that its more about reading content than it is about visual.
