Throughout the DNC this week, commentators have been speculating on whom McCain’s V.P. will be and when will he announce it. Kudos to McCain for not disrupting Obama’s acceptance spectacle last night-instead he let the pyrotechnics, and the sobbing fans at the Parthenon show a key contrast to a demographic that Obama has struggled to get to bow down to him. And with today’s V.P. announcement by McCain, I’m fairly certain this demographic never will.
This demographic of which I speak is not women, although McCain’s choice certainly can’t hurt in that department. This demographic is the blue collar outdoorsmen. You know, the same demographic that Obama so effectively isolated and insulted last spring in San Francisco when he was secretly recorded saying: “these people just cling to their guns.” Governor Palin could not be more perfect to appeal to this group. She and her husband are not millionaires like Obama, Biden or even McCain. They are an upper-middle class family that enjoys hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling. Now, these hobbies alone certainly do not qualify her to be the Vice President but they sure put Obama and his continued elitist demeanor in the crosshairs of this demographic.
