Campaign about perception

Political campaigns are about perception. In this political season, the Republicans are bent on creating the perception that the nation is in decline, thanks to Barak Obama; and the Democrats are surely gong-ho about their own message that the nation is in a much better place, and the sky is the limit of future gains.  Well, both sides have to make these contrasting cases to win in November, but regardless of what the motives are, only one of these message is more true than the other.

Yes we are better off today than 4 years ago

I heard Candy Crowley of CNN ask Governors O'Mally, Bev Purdue, and Mayor Vilragossa if the nation is better off today that it was 4 years ago, and I couldn't but cringe at the simplicity of the question and the timidity of the respondents. Governor O'Mally's pivot to blaming Bush was right-on, but the tame "no" in response to the basic question played into the Republican narrative. The true response to that simple comparison question is : YES.
