Three and a half hours after John McCain's campaign manager sent out an online fundraising email calling Barack Obama "elitist," Obama's campaign manager has sent out a fundraising email of his own. Entitled, "Who's Out of Touch?" the solicitation from campaign manager David Plouffe seeks to highlight Obama's humble upbringing, while providing several links to the campaign's online fundraising page:Barack Obama's own life and story are reflected in the character of this grassroots campaign. He was raised by a single mother with help from his grandparents. He has a family he loves, not long ago finished paying off his student loans, and he's doing what he can to help change this country.
Meanwhile, John Cole says the Clinton campaign's effort to paint Obama as elitist are not working:
So, in case you are keeping score, yes, American voters are dumb enough to vote for Bush twice (and I include myself in that number, sadly). They are not, however, dumb enough to sit around and listen to an Ivy League educated lawyer who has spent all but two of the last 40 years living in a Governor’s mansion, the White House, and a NY mansion and who made 110 million over the past six years call someone else elitist.
