Obama's failure was not creating a new coalition. He was the last gasp of the Kennedy's but rather than create a new coalition he was fine using the very same Clinton coalition he won against. He's bad and should feel bad. More culpable than the Clintons because he could have been either a neo Kennedy or something new.

That kind of senseless elitism is why the modern left fails so hard. Everybody thinks they are smarter than average, that's why advertising works. Ask anybody they'll say that advertising doesn't work on them. The mass line is the true source of intelligence and creativity. The myth of the "smart individual/dumb mass" is just a capitalist appropriation of aristocratic "Great Man" theory. That's dangerous and bad because innovations in mass media has allows groups with capital to hijack the thinking of the mass line by exploiting it's blind spots. This creates a hybrid situation that allows for Republicanism to thrive. The intuitive moral good of the mass line rightly recognizes empty suits devoid of vision and desperate for approval. The general will is not born from polling. However, marketing creates an exploit where a certain type of visionary huckster because the mass line recognizes and responds to clear moral vision. It sees that as an expression of its will. Competent advertising let's them be all things to all people while shutting down objections that would normally arise. This leads to the whole "I never thought leopards would eat my face" cries woman who voted for the leopards eating people's faces Party.

The language used against Obama was racially charged but looking at both Clintons, Gore and Kerry it is more that republicans view democrats as fundamentally illegitimate.
