Of course, how many Americans voted for Obama based just on the slogan, "Yes, we can!"?
Thanks for providing info on something I saw many times but didn't pay much attention to. In an election for multiple seats do voters get only one vote among the whole panel of candidates or do they get to name a batch of people they want to see on council?
Yes, we can"! Or Arnold's "I'll be back" (was it?). But then Obama at least was involved in debate, and did have a web site outlining his policy. I don't think that there was debate, or even in many cases any statement of policy anywhere but I may be wrong.
I think that my wife only got one vote. Yes. Only one vote for one
@timtak1 - I agree, as an American who voted for Obama, I think he outlined his policy's quite clearly, I think the "yes we can" slogan was just something to get people motivated and excited, but I think he won based on his position.
Wow! It's like a collection of haiku sound bytes. Like a distillation of a resume with all these "active" words. That was fun. BTW, you sent me googling. Had never heard the word "phatic" before. Now, I know a new word. Will try to slip it in on my hubby and friends, see if they know it. Thanks for the upload.
@timtak1 oh my gosh! No, we minority women are supposedly taking over scifi. Word on the street or rather the printed page is that touchy-feelyness, minority issues, and women issues are ruining speculative fiction. Quite the battle going on in our little spec-fic tempest. Am gonna attempt to use phatic way often. Thanks again. Your vids are so informative and fun. -C

Yes like haiku. Phatic would be a useful word if other people could understand you.
I thought you were a bloke....some kind of prejudice towards science fiction writers.
