Well, it was in direct response to the "Who IS Barack Obama???" message that the McCain campaign was floating over the last couple days. The point this guy is making (into a vacuum, evidently) is: Well, who the hell is Sara Palin, then?? Fortunately, the electorate appears to be in enough pain over the economy, it really doesn't matter that McCain says we don't know Obama--they just want whoever looks like they can solve the problem the best.
I'm curious how the GOP became the party of the rich and the low-IQ. (Yes, that's a radical simplification, Republican TFPers, and yes I'm willing to accept that there may be exceptions; please unwad your undies.) Any theories on that? Is it just that the low-IQ faction is gullible and susceptible to rich-faction Fair and Balanced manipulation? If the low-IQ faction actually understood how bad the rich faction is screwing them, they'd be gone in a heartbeat.
