What if…

…specific, established facts were reversed in the Obama/Biden vs McCain/Palin presidential race?

 

If John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review; and Barack Obama had finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class…

If McCain had only married once; and Obama were the divorcee…

If Obama were the candidate who had left his first wife after a severe, disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards…

If Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair with her while he was still married…

If Cindy McCain had graduated from Harvard; and Michelle Obama were the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization…

Urgent Call to Action! Contact Obama Campaign and DNC, Demand Action to Stop Illegal Voter Purges

Our colleagues at The BRAD BLOG have recently blogged about a CBS Evening News report on illegal voter purges going on in at least 19 states, including key battleground states. Scores of thousands of voters have been purged from the rolls.
