Which Obama Will They See?

[sandnsea]

"The result of the 2008 election may come down to how voters decide to define Barack Obama. Is he Adlai Stevenson or John F. Kennedy? Is he a detached former law review editor or a passionate agent of change? Is he an upscale reformer focused on process or a populist who will turn Washington and the country around?"

They're doing it again. The second they got an excuse to say "elitist", they were off and running. I can't for the life of me figure out how they do this. How do they make people who went to school on loans, elitists? People who grew up poorer than most. I do not get it. If there's another politicial couple who are more "real" than the Obamas, I'd sure like to meet them.

1. I guess the only way to be a non-elitist candidate these days

is to currently have no money and live in a three-bedroom ranch somewhere and drive a rusted-out ten year old car. :eyes:

2. If you are a Republican, by definition, you are not an elitist.

3. Well the car isn't rusted out

but otherwise...
