"Yes, the spot worked. Yes, they believed the charges against Obama. Yes, they actually think he's too liberal, consorts with bad people and WON'T BE A GOOD PRESIDENT...but they STILL don't give a fuck. They said right out, 'He won't do anything better than McCain' but they're STILL voting for Obama. … I felt like I was taking crazy pills. I sat on the other side of the glass and realized...this really is the Apocalypse."—An astonished Republican consultant in an email to The Politico's Ben Smith, after showing a group of "Reagan Dems and Independents" in a focus group a "no-holds-barred attack" advert against Obama and hearing comments like: "I'm gonna hate him the minute I vote for him. He's gonna be a bad president. But I won't ever vote for another god-damn Republican."
Way to go, GOP.
