gotta say...

Obviously being 'OUT OF TOUCH' means not voting for the media darling, the newest Hollywood star, or the Harvard grad who has written a couple of 'memoirs' about his hard times growing up biracially, yada yada yada.

Truth is he has made the most of his opportunities, and had a golden road paved for him by opportunists who saw in him a person they could hype to the Presidency. Kudos to them for their brilliant ploy.

Truth is the Republican party relied on an aging veteran with solid war and political experience to carry them through and Hollywood beat him.

Truth is the Republican party has a lot of young folks that will rise to the forefront in the months and years to come that are conservative and have the same values as their forefathers.

Everyone likes a few movies and TV shows, but a steady diet of glamour isn't realistic. The star power of BO will fade, and we will see if there is substance behind the rhetoric.

And, the folks who voted for him based on the mindless mantra of 'change, change, change' will become disenchanted when reality sets in and he can't keep his promises (or what they perceived those promises to be, i.e. 'I'm not gonna have to pay my bills and the gov'ment is gonna give me free gas'!!!). While I never agreed with McCain on everything, at least he was a bit more realistic (and specific, by the way) on what could and could not be done to lead the country.
