Warfare or Courtship in 2012?

David Brooks, New York Times
What sort of thing is a presidential campaign?Maybe a campaign is like a courtship.  A candidate’s job is to woo the electorate, to win the people’s affection with charm, familiarity and compassion.Maybe a campaign is like a big version of “American Idol.” It is a contest over who is the most talented. In this mode, a candidate’s job is to endear himself to the people in the audience with likability and then wow them with his gifts.
