This article from the New York Times (the liberal death star) is full of awesomeness. I am putting aside the less than pure motives for running this story, and focusing on the delicious nuggets of insight. 

Here are some choice experts:

“Then, once people think we’ve gotten them through the worst,” Jacobson said, “we pile on more — just the way Obama did.” He put up Slide 26, titled, “Running Up the Score.” “Obama was the very first candidate to appear on Reddit. We ask our clients, ‘Do you know what Reddit is?’ And only one of them did. Then we show them this photo of Obama hugging his wife with the caption ‘Four more years’ — an image no conservative likes.

Still, Jacobson was disappointed to see only 30 people in attendance.
