   The operative, 21st century word is "sell."   We are being sold.   What we are witnessing isn't a political campaign at all.   It's an infomercial with an ugly subtext.   Cue Romney:

   "I will give you twelve million jobs, I will fix Medicare and Social Security, I will lower your taxes, I will fix the deficit.   I've got a secret plan to revive the economy and create world peace.   I can't tell you what it is, but I've got the plan, trust me.

   "Whatever you're for, I'm for.   Whatever you're against, I'm against.   Up is down and black is white.

   "But I'm not, that's the important thing."
