can I run an idea by you?

Hey there –

There’s bizarre campaign proposals, and then there’s this clip of Tedra Cobb speaking at an open candidate forum:

Brazil is a great example of not why, but how population is changing, and it is through soap operas (crowd murmurs). It’s through soap operas! It is because more people are watching TV, and women are watching soap operas and are educated, and are having fewer children, on the soap operas and in fact {the real women} are having fewer children because of them. It’s called soft power.

Tedra Cobb thinks America should use soap operas to control population growth in developing countries.

And after checking her notes, Cobb even used the 1970’s television series “Dallas” as an example.

No wonder Tedra Cobb is so fixated on TV dramas: her campaign has become one.
