Josh Marshall on the rise of Democratic consultants. Fave ‘graphs:
“Democrats frequently console or rally themselves with the fact that most voters agree with them on individual issues. And then they’re mystified when they don’t win elections. Sometimes it seems, or people convince themselves, that it’s because one candidate is more likable than the other. Some people think that’s the case with this just completed presidential election. And perhaps it is to some degree. But the bigger difference is that Democrats don’t do anywhere near as good a job at telling a story with their politics.
If you want an example think of a movie with great acting and set-design but no discernible plot.”
