Some friends of mine that have actually accomplished something in their lives tell me that there is a concept of a "target market" in business. It seems that the idea is that a business should choose which customers that it wants to attract. This collection of customers would be the targeted audience for any messages that the business wishes to communicate. For example, if I am selling lesbian porn films, I might want to target lesbians ... or Bill tells me that I might want to target overweight middle-aged men.
Well I've been thinking a lot about this idea lately. In fact I actually kind of stumbled on to the idea when I broke into tears last week. It turns out that my target audience in New Hampshire was old women that would sympathize with me if I cried. Who'd a'thunk it? Your grandmother is a target audience for me.
But I probably can't get elected by just crying on the night before election day in every state across the country. I mean, maybe I could, but I can't count on the crying strategy. I need to broaden my target audience. By focusing more carefully on stupid people, I should have a good chance. The Repube-licans always get this wrong with their sophisticated policies and everything. For example - I put this senseless set of economic turnaround plans out there last week and SO MANY PEOPLE thought I was brilliant! Here is an actual example of a response from "Pat", a VOTER that commented on the website:
Hillary "really" cares about the common man/women's struggle, in thease turbolent economic times
Now THAT is a target audience!! OH ... MY ... GOD ... winning will be so easy.
