She's sneaky, that one! And mean.

WHOA. where'd all that crap up top come from? Lemme fix... my bad!

[therocket_queen]

It's true... Barack has more appeal to the younger yet of voters especially... and what's so bad about taking pride in your presentation?!

Hypocrisy.

[bord_du_rasoir]

He needs to be punished because Republicans need talking points to frame every one of his strengths into weaknesses, because some people are just that gullible as to buy into that which is said enough times by enough people. This is the same strategy that brought us the Iraq War. And yet, people still bite.

I love how big venue = celebrity and =/= average person. Of course, that does make sense, since the average person makes up only a tiny, minuscule percentage of the population and the well-off make up the vast majority, it's just playing the odds that most of the people there will not be "average Americans."

And anyway, even if there were thousands of average Americans, we wouldn't want Obama talking to them. Either talk to the delegates and elected officials at the Convention, or stick to small venues with just a handful attendees like McCain does! Geesh.

I love how the McCain campaign is playing up the "Obama doesn't GET THE AVERAGE AMERICAN", because obviously McCain - married to the Anheiser-Busch heiress, a man who owns seven properties (for whatever reasons) - gets the average American.

[quinatorte]

And not only is she the Anheiser-Busch heiress, whatever that is, but also the Anheuser-Busch heiress!

[anandrine]

It's kind of funny how the candidate married to an heiress made an ad comparing Obama to an heiress. Got some repressed feelings there, McCain?

[heather]

There are always 'what-ifs', and the McCain campaign would mock Obama even if he gave his acceptance speech to seventy people at a town-hall meeting.

It's jealousy and a complete lack of anything else to talk about on McCain's part. He will be lucky to fill the convention center when he speaks next week.
