Obama's Campaign Stategy

Interesting hypothesis on Obama and "change":

"...Obama’s vacuous campaign of “change” is meant to create a blank whiteboard that everyone can project their fantasy scenarios onto. It is a brilliant marketing gimmick. Every time that Obama seems to suggest an actual direction, it jars with the fantasy, and causes cognitive dissonance and irritation, and a pronouncement that the REAL Obama is the one in my head, not the one who intermittently articulates the ghostly outline of a coherent policy position."
Link from Instapundit. I think this theory works. No one can really say what Obama has promised to do if elected. If he keeps this up, however, everyone will think they know - exactly what that individual wants him to do.

Now if I could only figure out how to replicate this at home.
