Every election is a few points off of 50/50. Nobody gets a "mandate" any more. So the driving is done by those who give a shit and show up to caucus. Then the PACs use their money to influence the media we proles are exposed to every day, and make a certain outcome seem "inevitable", so we'll just sheeple along with their message and vote the way they want us to. It's the 3% of undecideds that sway every election. But... when do they Decide? And how can we influence them? I think that answer is "Big Media Buys", but only in the three states that ever matter. Which includes Florida. Which means we are all fucked.
