In reply to the discussion: Cookiegate: Romney Disses Beloved Pittsburgh Bakery [View all]bigtree

. . . rather than sort out all of the rhetoric from candidates and supporters. I think these anecdotal events and occurrences provide insight into just who we're electing, since most people who will cast their vote don't know diddly about who Romney is. That doesn't necessarily mean they will base their vote on one ignorant put-down of a beloved bakery, but it just might make the difference in a close district to someone who still has a bad taste in their mouth about this come election day. It really doesn't matter if you, personally, think they should have the opportunity to vote or not.

Sort of like voting for someone you'd like to have a beer with or a milf, right?
