...tend to do when you’re arguing about something that’s not an adjective or concept, it’s actually a culture of people who describe themselves as “Hiphop.” 4.

It is relentlessly detailed, almost claustrophobic in its proportion of charts to text. The subject matter is not especially unusual for a Republican: cut government spending, cut taxes, be more competitive in the global marketplace. It's just that these sorts of arid managerial charts, the lifeblood of Romney's previous career as a consultant, generally don't fit the crowd-energizing mood of the political stump speech. It's less the "Fired up! Ready to go!" chant made famous...
