“I can hear the justice in his voice” The smoke and mirror campaign

“I can hear the justice in his voice”

Could a Deval supporter  explain what the heck that means? I wonder what the victims of his  corporate  board would say about justice?

Deval Patrick commercials seem to be all about him and nothing about what he would do for Massachusetts.

At least Tom R. and Chris G commercials  say something about their plan.

  1. Match the campaign to the voice:

    1. “I can hear the irritation in his voice.”

    2. “I can hear the vacuousness in her voice.”

    3. “I can…hear the……Zzzzzzzzzz.”

    4. He’s hearing voices in his head.

    Look, part of this campaign is the specifics. Deval has said plenty about those, perhaps more than any other candidate. Check his website, it’s not difficult.

    Another part of the campaign is the intangibles: charisma, charm, ability to elicit emotion. I think even his detractors can admit that Deval has the battle of the “it” factor won in a walk. It’s important that the commercials show this as well. I’m not sure they do a fantastic job selling it, but as I mentioned previously no one who is politically active enough to be here is the target audience for the ads anyway.

    Let me ask you a question… What the heck does this mean? When you’re going to knock a quote like you did, you’ve got to explain yourself a little better than this, I’m afraid.

  3. Breyer — the cautious liberal? Roberts — Boy Scout with a backbone of conservative steel? The irascible prankster Scalia? Is it Ginsburg?

    Come on, Carpenter-guy, which one?

    • the characterization of my old boss (Breyer): “cautious liberal” really is not accurate.  “Cautious” he’s not – he’s probably the most adventurous left-of-center legal mind on the Court.  He thinks big, as anyone who has read his recent book knows.  (Scalia and Thomas are adventurous too, but in the wrong direction.)  But he’s also not a “liberal,” at least in the olde-timey Justice Brennan way.  He’s a pragmatist, not an ideologue.  That may lead to results that look “cautious,” but I think that’s a misreading of what he’s up to.

        • I love Breyer! If we had 9 o’ him, we wouldn’t be suffering through the current agony aka our Warp Resident.

          But then again, maybe we wouldn’t have so much of the “t’row da bums out!” feeling that pretty much guarantees a Deval victory and a recapture of the House and Senate. Oh, yeah, and did I mention the Rapture is almost upon us?
