Although the group is solidly Democratic, McCain isn't giving up on them without a fight

Irony

People who are educated (professors) and people who are trying to get educated (college students) are for Obama.

But the election is going to be decided by the high school or less group in the Appalachian hills of SE Ohio and Peensylvania.

So, what's McCain to do? Lie through is teeth in ad, after ad, after ad directed at people who are left behind and wondering why. What should Obama do to counter this? Put Hillary on the ticket.

America the beautiful indeed has some strange habits. Our electoral "college" causes the people of the other "college" to very possibly not matter much in how this turns out.
