She kept trying to relate to the middle class, billing herself and husband as on par with regular "hockey moms" etc. As Janie said, her world is really quite small. She said, "And I'll bet you, you're going to hear some fear in that parent's voice, fear regarding the few investments that some of us have in the stock market. Did we just take a major hit with those investments?"

I'd like to know what middle class she is talking about! WE don't have any investments to worry about nor do most of the middle class folks we know.

It's the same thing with the worthless $5,000 tax credit McCain and she would like us to use to buy health insurance. It won't work that way. Folks will get it off their taxes, sure, but they won't have the cash to spend; it will just give them a tiny bit more, maybe, of a refund, to pay down on their already existing bills, forget getting any kind of health care. These two are really narrow and out of touch.

I know it's not a popular thing to say, but I still am appalled at what she is putting her children through. That baby and pregnant teen need their mom more than ever; they don't need to be dragged around and trotted out for every event like this. The baby being passed from hand to hand seems so symbolic, to me, of the exploitation for votes.
