    @-- Renascent

    The Obama campaign is so filled with condescension toward average (small town, working class, etc.) Americans that they are incapable of recognizing it. This leaves a void for someone to fill, which Palin did. The result is not pretty, and the problem is not easily fixed.

    Yea, but your just making that up, so there's that.
