Hillary was raised as a middle American WASP and made 109 million dollars in the last 8 years. McCain married a multi-millioner many times over, owns 10 fabulous houses and thinks that corporate taxes haven't been cut enough by Bush. Obama was raised by a single mother(his dad left when he was a small child) who had to go on welfare often and despite his biracial ethnicity, considers himself black because, in his words, he used to have a very hard time getting a cab, even in a 3 piece suit. Obama is the only candidate of the 3 running now who isn't an elitist and who can genuinely identify with the hardship small town people experience.
