Yeah, I said it. And I’m not just saying it because I live in the far awesomer SE portion of Pennsylvania (where, incidentally, Joe Biden is proudly considered our third Senator).
I say FRACK SCRANTON for the following two reasons:
Reason 1: The dread I’m feeling about the prospect of having to endure two more months of inane media blather about "scrappy," "Scranton" and "hard working/white."
This narrative is so last March, and data has since convincingly demonstrated that Scranton does not have a monopoly on scrappy, hard-working, blue collar or white. Plus, these themes have no place in a discussion of Obama’s merits. McCain, on the other hand, has done a great job proving that he could never relate to people (hardworking, scrappy, white or otherwise) living in Scranton, Boise and pretty much anywhere else outside of"The Hills."
So, to you bobbing idiots on FOX, CNN and even MSNBC: unless you want to talk about how unpalatable mega-rich, uber-pampered diva freaks like McCain are to ordinary people like me, STFU ABOUT SCRANTON! You don’t know s### about Scranton!
Reason 2: Scranton does not equal PA.
Obama has overwhelming support in the Pittsburgh area. In addition, Philadelphia (now featuring city money)-->the entire Southeast-->Lancaster-->Harrisburg-->PSU Country=OBAMA COUNTRY. And on the heels of the hotly-contested primary, the ground game will be off the mother fracking chain.
Translation: FRACK SCRANTON; Appalachia will not save McCain from the voters of this state!
To summarize:
- Biden=great pick overall, a local hero and sure to swing some PA votes.
- FRACK SCRANTON!
