32. Exactly, It shows political strategists can't be the usual pollsters

What they need is people that understand and are familiar with the new media .

Politicians usually won't have time for all of that becsuse it really is a waste of time but people familiar with it will know what is being said and how and where to respond.

Liberals were good with using the new tech and social media as long as we stuck to truth and facts but never got around how to deal with the bs from the right that quickly spread. It's not just about responding with facts but rather getting attention and taking control. Usually actual policy isn't even involved.
