50. What's the Matter With Kansas
I disagree, and the entire electoral history of Kansas proves you wrong. Go check out Thomas Frank's "What's the Matter With Kansas." Because of the way framing works, and has been successfully utilized by the GOP, it is impossible to just, "Tell it straight" and come out ahead in electoral politics.

Yeah, its not all framing - its got to do with localisms, the so-called Liberal Media, and a host of other things, but one thing is clear: In American Politics the truth does not set you free, its sends you home to play golf for the rest of the year.
