Journal / i hope this link works…

at a rally today the mccain camp had to bus in elementary school kids to fill seats(not sure how having 12 year olds in the audience is going to help mccain’s electability…).
but even more embarrassing, the famous ‘joe the plumber’ was supposed to be there as mccain’s prop/sidekick, but he, uh, didn’t show up…
here’s the video:

it’s kind of sad, actually, when mccain is looking around for his little plumber pal.
in other news the economist magazine ‘whole heartedly’ endorsed obama.
the economist is about the most capitalist magazine on the planet, they certainly wouldn’t endorse a socialist….
and john mccain said yesterday on cnn that obama is ‘not a socialist’.
so i guess the gop can put the ‘socialist’ slander to bed.
