I'd just like to point something out. McCain Spokeswoman Nicole Wallace was on Soledad O'Brien's CNN show this morning. Soledad pointed out that Sarah Palin, in her convention speech, insulted community organizers as part of her attack on Obama, when she said "A small time mayor is like a community organizer, except you have actual responsibilities." Wallace said that Palin was trying to point out that there is a difference between "leading" and "organizing", and then went off on some tangent about how Palin can lead on issues that affect every American (as if stronger communities aren't important to all of us).

Anyway, Wallace used the example of Energy policy. "Deciding which car to drive, do we take out the SUV? Or the more efficient Sedan? These are issues that affect all Americans."

Now, there's nothing wrong with having to decide which of your cars to drive, but come on Republicans. Do the people that don't own a car, or choose to only have one car, or, heaven forbid, can only afford one car, not count as Americans to you?
