We need to get a message across and the way to do it is mass media. When a person appeals to a certain group, they are almost always likely to win their support. In today's case of media supplementing politics I looked at Texas gubernatorial Wendy Davis. Ms. Davis had written a book and in that book she reveals that she had not one but two abortions. Well, this is the liberal ideology at work where they believe in Pro-Choice. There were said to be a medical problem as to why she chose to terminate. I am not to judge her. But in a red state as a democrat, what do you do to get support? Throw that personal story in a book and then expend it the mass media of course. This is sure to get a liberal voting band together to support a female candidate with abortions. Ms. Davis using media is sure to get a stronger "vitamin" support from the democrats in the state.

Back in 2012 at the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama wooed the crowd with her own personal struggles and then expanded on Barak's struggle as he has been where we are today.
The message was that Obama comes from struggle. He understands what you're going through. Ann Romney talked about tuna fish. Michelle Obama took her details further. The car that was rusted out, the coffee table rescued from the dumpster, and the pair of decent shoes that were a half size too small. “For Barack, these issues aren’t political–they’re personal. Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles. He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.”
The first lady’s task was to reflect what she sees in the nation and then show how that vision is reflected in her husband. This is what Ann Romney also did as she told the stories of those who struggled with high gas prices and extra jobs. Michelle Obama ran through the same kinds of stories, about the teacher who had to buy the school supplies and the blinded soldier who would have done it all again.

Those stories, viewed and heard by millions...is what makes politics stronger. The voice for Obama was heard and he was elected again as President. There is power in the media.
