New pitch proposal: America Needs Winners, not Runner-Ups!

Second to Bush in 2000 runs with second to Miss Alaska! Is this the best the Republicans can do?

1. Love it...BUT...do you think it will fly?

After all, you are asking for people receiving this to be smart enough to know that McCain lost to Bush in 2000 and Sarah Palin was simply a runner-up in the Miss Alaska contest.

Unfortunately, I think us Democrats know these facts. Republicans....I'm not so sure! Independents...this will divide the group won't it?

2. Maybe they'll have to check out the McCain part...

but I do think most know she was second runner-up to Miss Alaska! That's the "Cosmo" level I referred to in another thread! Heck, maybe it wouldn't make it as a bumper sticker, but in an ad they could use pictures for the politically impaired! How about something like a Bush/McCain hug juxtaposed against the lineup for Miss Alaska with Palin in the spotlight --- down the line?
