“The Idea of Anti-imperialism is... to be considered on several grounds. First, it is traditionally pervasive in the United States, though given its most extreme form in anti-Western academe.

“Anybody who imagines that an election can be won under these circumstances by banging on about William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright is ... to put it mildly ... severely under-estimating the electoral importance of pocketbook issues. We conservatives are sending a powerful, inadvertent message with this negative campaign against Barack Obama's associations and former associations: that we lack a positive agenda of our own and that we don't care about the economic issues that are worrying American voters.” CarePowerfulWorryIssuesImagineEconomicCircumstancesMessagesNegativeImportanceElectionDon't CareCampaignsFormerBarackAgendasVotersAssociationImagine ThatBangingEconomic IssuesAmerican VotersPocketbooksJeremiahEstimating Author:David Frum
