Eggplant, Obama plays well to the media, the bubble elite, but very badly to the mass of voters.

He ramps up the youth vote, who are both 8 million smaller than the Seniors, and vote about 25% less than Seniors. But Obama has huge problems with Seniors. Who need cheap gas and low crime.

Obama could win running away if he hadn’t played racial politics (drives away middle/working class whites) and green elitist politics (everyone not in the elite bubble).

Consider this — the median age of TV viewers is 50! According to Variety. “Gossip Girl” may get all the buzz and hype, but only 2.2 million watch it every week. Meanwhile 50+ demo skewing American Idol gets 25 million viewers week in and out. Obama is Gossip Girl. Hyped but few want him. McCain is American Idol.
