True, but have you seen it? It’s so big that in order to soak it all in you would need a copy much bigger than your screen. Zooming in would work, but talk to any public relations or marketing person – the impact is in the ability to see the entire chart and be able to look at the details by simply moving your eyes from spot to spot. A screen visual would not have the same impact as a large foldout. Think of how annoying it is to look at a map on your screen and have to scroll and then having the entire map unfolded before you and only needing to scan the page with your eyes. Pretty standard actually, so I am not surprised they want to do it.

However, as a second choice, your approach would work – it would just be less effective.

This is the electronic age – the post office is as irrelevant as the MSM. If the Republicans want a message distributed all they have to do is email it to a few friends and request they forward it to their friends. I assure you, the message will go around the world long before the post office could get it stamped with a postmark. And nobody will know where it originated.
