To understand Hilary’s most dedicated supporters let’s take a look at who the campaign has chosen as her “Top 18” MySpace friends.
The data above suggests that Hillary herself makes up the vast majority of her support, with sweaty (hard working!) guys in argyle sweaters rounding out the demo.
This suggests that to win over these Hillaryland dead-enders Obama would have to consider offering Hillary the VP slot, and formulate a plan to combat the rising cost of dry cleaning.
The general election began last night with John McCain and Barack Obama engaging each other on the other’s turf.
Sen. Obama spoke at the Xcel Center in St. Paul where John McCain will accept his party’s nomination this fall. Earlier that evening Sen. McCain inaugurated his general election campaign playing to the youth vote by jumping onto a popular internet trend: the green screen challenge!
