There is an anti-Wal Mart blogger who says that Target bought a controlling interest in the company, but this alleged story is not being reported by Motley Fool, CNBC, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc. The Street.com, yahoo finance or anywhere else, any deal THAT BIG would have made the evening news with Brian Williams. In a word, NO.
Since you can't say what martin bashir's faith is, to me he demonstrates christain vertue Many times, on MSNBC, he qoutes scripture principles ( from his heart ) and he couldn't do that unless he were a christain, a believer in the messag of Jesus Christ. You'd have to agree.
First, the times were very different, which affected how campaigns were conducted. Before we can analyze the candidates in those two elections, we need to look at how different their campaigning was. In the 1970s, cable TV was just beginning to expand its reach, but there was no CNN or Fox or MSNBC-- no all-news stations, and no all-political commentary stations either. Most Americans watched the newscasts of the three major TV networks: ABC, NBC, and CBS, and those news programs were expected to be neutral and take no sides. There was no internet (actually, the military had an early version, but I am referring to a version the average person could use); and without the internet, there were no blogs or websites that could be updated at a moment's notice when a candidate wanted to react to a story. There was no Twitter or Facebook, and even cellphones were in their infancy. In other words, the public had no expectation of instant information: the only ways for candidates to communicate to their potential voters were to go on radio (which was still very important as a mass medium), be a guest on a TV interview program like Meet the Press, and to visit various cities (not just the ones in the "swing states") and then hope the newspapers and magazines would cover your speech. Contrast that to 2012, where within minutes, the Romney or Obama campaigns could react to what the other had said; with the internet, and 24 hour a day cable channels, there was instant information, even if some of it was totally inaccurate. Campaign surrogates from both sides went on "friendly media" (talk shows that supported your side): Romney's people often relied on Fox News, or on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham; Obama's people often used MSNBC, but with fewer liberal talk show hosts on radio, the Democrats relied instead on the liberal and moderate blogs and web publications, as well as using Twitter, Facebook, and even Smartphone Apps. Meanwhile, millions and millions of dollars in negative ads flooded the airwaves, with anonymous SuperPACs spreading anti-Obama or anti-Romney messages. As for the candidates themselves, they mostly focused on campaigning in just a handful of key states, rather than going to every state and hoping for coverage. And speaking of the candidates, Ford and Carter were not nearly as polarizing as Obama and Romney. In 1976, there was still anger over Watergate and over Ford's pardon of disgraced President Nixon, but generally, people liked Gerry Ford. And comparing Ford to Romney, neither was a great public speaker (both had gaffes that caused them problems) but Ford was perceived as much more likeable than Romney. Jimmy Carter, the Democratic candidate in 1976, was new to the national scene; and while he did have some loyal supporters who had helped to get him the nomination, he was nowhere nearly as popular as Barack Obama would be in 2008. in fact, some analysts believe Ford lost more because he had refused to punish Nixon. The Republican "brand" was still damaged, and Carter was elected because of the frustration with Ford rather than because people were excited about Carter as a candidate. In that regard, the 2008 election was a little bit similar to 1976: many people were tired of and disillusioned by the policies of President Bush and the Republicans and they wanted a change; but by most accounts, Barack Obama was far more charismatic and ran a better campaign than his challenger, John McCain. McCain was a war hero, but he was not a great speaker, and he reminded too many people of president Bush's policies. By 2012, however, Americans had become firmly entrenched in one camp or the other: the pro-Obama camp thought the president had been dealt a terrible hand by President Bush and wanted to give Mr. Obama four more years to straighten things out; the pro-Romney camp thought Obama was a total failure and it was time for a change. But we can find similarities in Romney and Carter's style: after defeating President Ford, Mr. Carter never really connected with large numbers of Americans; he was easily defeated by a charismatic Republican candidate, Ronald Reagan. Mitt Romney, despite his strong business background, had the Carter problem (although for different reasons)-- he never seemed to connect with the American people (especially with America's changing electorate), and as a result, he never gained the enthusiastic support needed to be elected. Thus, despite how polarized the country had become in 2012, Barack Obama was able to create a strong base on support, and with his ability to utilize effective campaign strategies, he won a second term.
