I hope this isn't the reason that Obama can't pull the trigger in Ohio and Pennsylvania but who the hell knows for sure.

Biden, in Ohio, Sees Hurdles Ahead - Washington Post - 20 Sep 08

"Asked to elaborate on the challenge Obama faces from working-class voters, Biden told of an elderly woman at a Philadelphia area diner, who showed him an e-mail on her mobile phone repeating the charge that Obama is a Muslim.

'She said, 'Senator, I love you, I was going to vote for you, and I thought I liked Barack, but I can't do it,' ' Biden said. 'And I said, 'Why not?' She said, 'Well, look,' and she shows me an e-mail. She says, 'He's a radical Muslim,' and I said, 'Why would you say that?'

"She said, 'Everybody tells me that.' And I said, 'I promise you that's not true,' and she said, 'What do I do?' And I said, 'Well, vote for me.' And she looked at me and said, 'Does that mean I have to vote for him, too?' '"

"But 41 percent of Ohioans said in a recent poll by Quinnipiac University that they hadn't heard enough about Biden to form an opinion on him. Even in Pennsylvania, which neighbors Biden's home state of Delaware, a quarter of poll respondents said they didn't know much about him."

McCain learned well from the whisper campaign that Bush ran against him, about his fathering an illegitimate black child. He also knows that a lie spoken often enough is accepted as truth even when refuted.

All you can do is hope enough thinking people show up to out-vote the morons who would rather see the continued decline of your country.
