Boy he really did choose a dud for a banner boy. I wonder if John knows the facts how he feels now. It makes him look even less informed.

Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan. Well, I can't say that means a whole lot. I note it doesn't say how close, so presumably it's not a one-word relation (cousin, nephew, etc). I don't have too much idea what all my many second cousins do, and certainly am not affected or influenced by which way they vote... not even by the rich ones. It's a closer association than Obama had with Ayers, perhaps, but that isn't enough to convince me. It might be a little less random than assumed, but that doesn't mean it's all staged. Anyway the political points still stand, I think.
