Reply #3: I think you missed the point of the whole scene. [View All]

The sopranos, to a certain extent, is married to the mob with children, and here in suburban new jersy the stark reality of our situation is laid out by the documentedly brilliant character of meadow, and the weak response of carmela "well I voted for him", was not offered up as a counter argument so much as it was an admission of how disconnected Bush's base has become. I thought the scene was done with the intention not of slapping bush down, but of illustrating the discourse that is taking place across america right now, of giving voice to the truth speakers in every family who are now forcing a dialog across america. Without Carmela's pathetic response, the scene could be dismissed as just more librul bullshit. It is the fact that this is all Carmela can come up with in response that is so devastating.
