Scott Fitzgerald) two true (and NUMERICALLY verifiable) FACTS in your heads at the same time: even “poor whites” are not so stupid in times of economic crisis to refrain from voting their pocketbooks; and NOBODY has tried harder than Barack Obama, during this campaign season, to UNITE the disparate elements of the American electorate. </em> Do tell, what has he done to "unite" us? And how is that NUMERICALLY verifiable, as you put it? Told us he understands our concerns? Paraphrased our arguments for us? Told us we need to get beyond our differences? Forgoing rationally analysis for thereputic gestures is an important part of modern anti-intellectualism. Sent at: 2008 09 06
