I'm actually laughing
At McCain's 'last chance' add, AKA: 'I'm Joe The Plumber'
Every single one of the 'Joes' is white, obviously upper middle class according to their dress, make-up, and attitude (I have to work harder to pay taxes? TEH HORROR!!!!), and my age (39) or older.
...Way to limit your target group there, son. I hope sheer numbers of all the groups you conveniently left out of that add over-run your little party at the polls tomorrow.
I'll be glad when this is over. I'm still hoping vervently for Barak to win (although then I'll be scared to death for him for his whole term and beyond).
PS: If you didn't already, make sure you vote tomorrow.
ETA: OH, no, wait, they have a token 'well-off black man' shoved right in the middle of the long string of white folks.
Yeah, sorry if I sound a bit bitter/cynical.
