When you have little if anything to say
Saying it 21 times doesn't make it sound better or deeper. All candidates positions boil down essentially to
"I'm for what's right and good while my opponent is a misguided fool. I promise to do all that is right and good. Details? Well those are hard to pin down now but trust me when I tell you I am thinking and feeling very seriously about all the the things that are important."
Some people are better at bullshit than others. Hillary Clinton for example for all her life in the public eye is not a good public speaker and not a good extemporaneous speaker. She always SOUNDS forced. Whether it is or not is irrelevant. Obama though has a better ear for his audience and can subtly ratchet up the down home corn pone on demand much better. He can black it up, and then black it down again when he needs to. He's not saying anything of any more value, he's just better at saying it.
So what's the point? If you don't recognize by now that none of them have anything concrete to say about anything and you're voting for the best ad campaign and not a candidate, then maybe you should stay home on election day like millions of other fat stupid Americans.
