Clinging to Chardonnay and Snobbery

On the McCain campaign trail, the low information voter has given way to the no information voter. A woman at a rally last week stated that Obama is “an Arab”. At least she didn’t say Ay Rab. McCain gently took back the microphone and explained that she was incorrect. I’m not a constitutional scholar - I just play one on TV - but both McCain and Obama meet the age and citizenship requirements laid out in Article II, Section 1.

Another Middle American stalwart said he was scared of raising his unborn child in a country run by Obama. Apparently he’s AOK with how W has kicked off the millennium. So where are you going to go pal? Sweden? You and your truck, which probably requires a ladder to get into, will fit right in there. Am I being too condescending? Perhaps. This guy needs to get a grip. I don’t want McCain to be president but I won’t be “scared” if he ends up in the White House. He’s a good man who’s stooped to some lousy Rovian tactics because he’s fallen behind in the polls.
