Listen "The Curley Effect (Why Newsome Won)"
Episode Synopsis
A whole lot of Conservatives who don’t live and have probably never lived in California, are losing what’s their of their minds over Gavin Newsome’s “unexpected” win in the recall election held last week. It can only be the result of cheating, malfeasance or (gasp) ballot machine fraud!
Of course the reality is much different. People who are actually familiar with California told you that the recall had zero chance of succeeding, even if GOP sponsored polls said that it could. It lacked any unifying theme, ala the Gray Davis recall in 2003.
Moreover, it demonstrates once again, the power of rumor and scuttlebutt over actual information and thought processes.
