133 - Obama's America vs. McCain's America: Ten Reasons Undecideds Should Choose Obama
Usually on Blast The Right you hear me condemn right-wing ideology and policies. Not only the theory, but the negative effect of right-wing rule on flesh-and-blood humans.
Then the idea is, you use the information to win the water cooler wars, to "blast the right."
With just about a month to go before the election, arguing with right-wingers isn't the most productive use of your time now, I don't think.
This presidential election could well be razor-tight. The polls consistently indicate that 4-8% of the electorate says they're undecided. And what really struck me, up to a total of 18% say they could still change their mind.
In other words, they're persuadable.
The undecideds and persuadables aren't guided by ideology or party loyalty. Or else they already would have firmly settled on a candidate.
So in this podcast I'm going to set out Ten Reasons undecideds and persuadables should choose Obama, hopefully in a way undecideds and persuadables will find convincing.
A bit softer in tone and rhetoric than usual, since undecided voters are generally ideological and want "Just the facts, ma'am."
Remember, in addition to the audio of this show, there's a transcript available directly below, in case you want to send all or part of it to an undecided voter you know.
The ten reasons cover the following areas:
1. Proper Role of Government 2. Supreme Court 3. Right To Choose 4. Taxes 5. Minimum Wage 6. Unions 7. Health Care 8. Safeguarding Our Food, Water & Air 9. Presidential Vetoes 10. War and Peace
Links promised in show: Call undecided voters Check your voter registration/register to vote
(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)
