It's ours.

It was you, so many years ago, who cautioned us about the risks of just "skimming the surface." So thanks for that.

In another comment, or perhaps a guest post? For instance, you say, "putting low-interest voters on par with "bi-conceptuals" or ambivalents to the outcome of the election. These voters pursue a shallow understanding that is quickly within the grasp of their ready frame." Am I reading it right that this is, in part, what makes the effort to win among ambivalents or bi-conceptuals especially important this year? To say nothing of the need to blunt the other side's "ready frame" among low-interest voters? Thanks so much for weighing in here. More!

Thankfully, the Greenies came through for me.
