A scary Halloween with Sarah Palin

In central Pennsylvania, the Republican base is afraid of Obama, and lost in fever dreams of a neo-Soviet nightmare. But it's all in God's hands.

    I know 4 intelligent white people who are going to vote for McCain-Palin

    1. Husband (fought in Burma as young man ) and wife im Florida - reason: afraid of capital gains and other taxes under Obama. I guess their income is above $250,000.

    2. Gay white male, retired comptroller in New Hampshire - unspoken reason which I suspect, Obama is black.

    3. While male, retired music teacher in Florida - spoken reason, Obama is black.

    All 4 persons are between age 58 - 70.
