Are you agile enough to reconcile Election 2012’s shifting memes? It’s the first round. Here they come.
What about centrist accommodation rushing at you as vigorous, valiant defense of the at risk? Did they get you? Maybe that was too easy. How about technocratic accommodation gussied up as ‘severely’ conservative? How many rounds can you survive until November?
Give it a whirl. It’s harder than it looks.
(P.S. If your iDevice shows a blank you know why . . .)

Yikes. I have historically considered myself something of a capable video game player; yet I have not managed to score much above 400. My street cred has certainly taken a hit.

I note the author of the article didn’t even bother to bring up the dissatisfaction of anti-war liberals.
DrLeoStrauss says
Ouch! Aldershot, you’re right – that is an important omission.
DrLeoStrauss says
16,019 !!! That’s pretty amazing. Haven’t been able to approach your earlier score of 8842 even. Maybe the lesson JWB is that we’ll get through election just fine, after all.
jwb says
You have to lie very, very low (one pixel’s worth of low).
DrLeoStrauss says
OK, it is so ON!
DrLeoStrauss says
Your king fu is strong, JWB. Even doing the low radar cross section approach, can’t even get near your 8,800 score, let alone your high. Most impressive!

Worse than waiting out the election in November is waiting out the post election. God!!!
DrLeoStrauss says
Hadn’t thought about the post-election coverage until now. Oh wow. The hits keep on coming! One can imagine the cable production meetings underway, working out montages and theme music . . .
WOuld anyone here agree Obama ‘has spent three years assiduously courting his liberal base’? http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/20/obama-on-the-high-wire/ Didn’t think so. Which makes items like this and the consensus narrative it smugly promotes all the more cynical.

Found a better place to hideout: 8842.
DrLeoStrauss says
8842 is pretty amazing! Bravo. Maybe you could share some pointers (without giving up your real secrets!).
jwb says
Actually managed 16,019 after posting. That has to be close to as high as you can expect (the actual score would depend on chance). The secret—which applies to the election coverage as much as to the game—is to hide out by lying low.
jwb says
3134 was the best I could do in about a half dozen attempts.
