That "Real America" comment caught up with her. This will cost McCain another point or two in the polls.

She's a total amateur.

LANDSLIDE OBAMA

I was kind of surprised that the McCain campaign didn't use Obama's "bitter and guns" comments from earlier in the primaries. It hurt Obama and this statement from Palin is likely to hurt her too. Last thing any Presidential candidate needs to do is to condescend to any group or demographic. Heck, just look how well it has worked for Bachmann... echo... echo...

Sara Palin is incredibly stupid. If her IQ were a point higher than 80, she'd understand that most Americans live in urban areas (the "anti-American" portion of the country). That's where most of the voters live. Elections are won in the dense urban and suburban areas, not in small towns.....unless she's aiming to win the votes of cows, horses, and sheep.

And big city America is the real America and everything in between and we are blessed to have some of the most wonderful folks walking the earth in all these places. Stand beside her and guide her, all of her.

Especially the sheep vote, the GOP guys LOVE the sheep.
