Having just said I'd wait on posting lessons learned from the Obama re-election and Romney loss, I'm back posting a lesson learned. This one seems like further reflection probably won't alter it too much, so I figured I'd go ahead and share it now.
I haven't written about the David Petreaus scandal stuff despite the fact that there may be national implications to it. One of the reasons is that every issue does not not carry the same weight with the electorate. No matter how much the issue is pushed forward, the electorate may see it as unimportant or perhaps driven by hyper-partisan efforts. In the bigger picture, it doesn't help the cause in a meaningful way.
Since it does not move the needle, it is not worth the effort they way some other issue that can move the national mood or really is worth the fight.
