Dates Cited Here Make No Sense Whatsoever[edit]

"Months prior to the 2010 midterm elections, Mellman suggested that the burgeoning Tea Party movement would play a significant role in the upcoming election.[12][13] Analyzing the campaign afterwards, Mellman further suggested that the Bush campaign had invoked fear to galvanize support, emphasizing the Bush administration's ability to maintain stability. This analysis mirrored similar suggestions from other pundits at the time.[14][15]"

Uh, Bush left office in January 2009, and the Tea Party didn't start until after Barack Obama became President. Just how did "the Bush campaign" affect the outcome of the 2010 midterm elections? The footnotes here refer to the 2004 election, not the 2010 election. This paragraph should be scrapped and rewritten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.174.245.161 (talk) 05:53, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence Para 2 under Work[edit]

It needs to be rewritten in English. I have no idea what it's trying to say, no will anyone else. 2601:2C6:4300:B8C0:7CE6:2732:9B95:7D16 (talk) 16:19, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
