Easier Done Than Said or Pie

How do you motivate an electorate desperately wanting change, to desperately want stability?

Short Answer: Unleash HELL!

Longer Answer: Engineer the two most vocal, opposing, activist political sects to 'go to war' with each other.
Add generous doses of inflammatory media coverage.
Let simmer and boil alternately for five to six months... and there you'll have it.

Fresh-cooked public desire for "stability"... (a.k.a. "continuity")

(always remember that those who have the most power and influence to "create" the future have a vested interest in "continuity" and are masters at selling the illusion of 'change')

To get some idea of what the 2008 version of this recipe will taste like, ask yourself:
"What was the major topic of concern routinely occupying the frontpages a few weeks/months ago that has been replaced by new concerns? And what are those "new" concerns?"

For extra spice, also ask the "Cui Bono" Questions:

"Who would benefit from the electorate's desire for "change"?
"Who would benefit from the electorate's desire for "stability"?
