I don't know, I didn't get a "not my fault" feel from it, I got a "we were down and here's the decision making process we went through to try to get back".

It'll never happen, but I'd love to see a similar article sometime on the selection of Joe Biden to be Barack Obama's running mate, because I think that decision probably had just as much "we'll alienate this demographic but get these others" as that ad. I recognized at the time that Biden was a brilliant choice because he made Obama less attractive to me, which meant that the Obama campaign was going with the "spread the widest net" tactic.

How many words does it take to say "It wasn't my fault"? Whiner

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
