MarketingDoctor has the right Diagnosis of Politicians as Brands.
I’ve written about John Tantillo before, the Marketing Doctor. Generally I would “unfriend” someone who refers to himself in such terms. But Tantillo, who has one-upped Matt Drudge in style as well as charisma (Drudge is just too sinacle), has his finger on the 2012 Presidential Election.
Let me just say this at the outset.
Obama will be a one term President. Why? Because in the words of an extraordinary man, Ronald Reagan (like him or not – see X Files reference on the term extra-ordinary), few are better off now than they were 4 years ago.
