Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

That's my takeaway from this as well. Everything we now (rightfully) recognise as cringe would (by some - not you Cam) have been treated as genius/the secret sauce if the Tories had won. We need better means of measuring impact than credulously swallowing campaign PR.
