This is kinda like Palin not being able to answer "What is the Bush Doctrine" and other stupid questions.

99% of AMerica had no idea what the BUSH Doctrine was, and Al gore couldnt have told you what Clinton did as governor of AK, etc etc etc

Mccain wasnt saying "you didnt know them" he said "i bet many of you never heard of them before this happened" which is prob a very true statement.

How many of you knew Lehman Bros? Merrill Lynch most of you prob knew from the commercials ,etc
Its a stupid argument, IMO
I agree with most of your post. The issue is have is, these are the types of things that McCain's (and Bush's) campaign has relied heavily on when it favored them. I go back to the "lipstick on a pig" comment as a prime example. I didn't see or hear anyone in McCain's camp step up to clear the air until McCain finally admitted (in print) that Obama wasn't referring to Palin as a pig. The same thing goes for when McCain & his camp ridiculed Obama for the statement he made about correct air pressure in your tires saving gas. If you're going to play dirty, don't try to change the tone of the game when your game works against you.
