Mack: The Knack

Editor, Naples Daily News:

Although name recognition, lots of money and split votes among his opponents may have contributed to his primary victory, there is one decisive factor that put Connie Mack over the top.

He best captured the essence of what makes a great political television ad. Play to the apparently boundless stupidity of the voting public by: 1. Being entirely content-free and saying absolutely nothing of significance; 2. Demonstrating that the candidate has completely mastered the art of flag-waving; 3. Coming up with as many other apple-pie platitudes as possible within 30 seconds.

His remarkable ability to spout meaningless bromides is as breathtaking as it is self-evident, showing total control of Point 1.

Regarding Points 2 and 3: He, with jaw set and eyes looking to the horizon, actually asserted with conviction that he supports patriotism and is in fact (gasp) patriotic himself. His education policy's centerpiece of having kids recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day was especially inspiring. Wow.

His unequivocal backing of family values, his courageous stance stating that he is against terrorism and his audacious belief in lower taxes staked out territory that his three opponents could only envy, since his positions almost automatically indicated that they in all probability favored promiscuity, cowered in the face of terrorism and thought higher taxes were great.

Well done, Connie.
