I just saw a clip of Cindy McCain speaking with George Stephanopolous in which Cindy actually says that Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska is across the sea from Russia.

I feel I've awakened in Bizarro World.  What's next?  Will the GOP arrange a Disney World trip for Palin so she can pass through the Small World exhibit before the Biden VP debate?

What frightens me is speaking to my friends.  They don't follow this election that closely, don't visit various sites.  I spoke with one of our vendors, a great guy, a blue collar small business owner, and asked if he'd seen the Obama convention speech.  During our conversation, he said that he'd like to know where Obama got his money to buy a $4 million dollar house.  When I mentioned that Obama had written two best selling books and had gotten multimillion dollar advances for them, my friend said he didn't know that.  That seemed to allay that one suspicion, but he won't be voting for Obama. 

For each person on this site, there are dozens more who pay no attention to politics except for the occasional wild rumor email.  Lots of work for Obama to do yet.
