One went to the most expensive private school in HA, the other a public school in small town Alaska. One was a mayor of a small town and governor of a state, the other disbursed foundation money to liberal charities which do little if any good for anyone (see Chicago Annenberg Challenge). One attended a couple of evangelical churches, the other a church that pushes racial greivance mongering (a "black value system", whatever that is; "God damn America, God damn America, God damn America", America "invented the AIDS virus as a means of genocide against people of color"). more experience with normal people from his community leadership experience Which set of people are more "normal": Smalltown Alaskans or innercity public housing residents and upperclass radical leftists like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn? Small town Alaskans or people who stand up and cheer at Jeremiah Wright's anti-American rants? she's and the GOP aren't for the little guys She and her family ARE little guys. His wife was paid $300K a year for a community relations job so important it was eliminated when she resigned last year. He earned everything he got .. How? What jobs did he hold before graduating college? For some reason his narrative doesn't include ANY mention of this. Paper route as a youth? Bagging groceries? Flipping burgers? If there were things like this in his past that would make him seem more normal, his campaign kept them secret. It looks like he owes his grandparents a lot - they seem to have obviously sacrificed to give him a good education. "two cents" Overpriced at that.
