Hahahaha! Made my day! And it does make an awful lot of sense.

I've seen no evidence that Paris is not a ditz. Can assigning a level of savvy and intelligence to her be wishful thinking? On the other hand, I've seen plenty of evidence that Paris Hilton IS a ditz! And I'm not referring to her reality show.

The McCain ad was smart politics and did resound with the undecided voters. This is evidenced by the shift in approval. The ad associated Obama with a celebrity status as Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears. When most people consider the celebrity of these two women, they don't have positive impressions. Associating Obama with them, especially on the heels of Obama's speech in Berlin was a smart political move. Obama showed an amazing level of hubris during that speech. He did not help himself here in the US with that speech. And I've been reading that privately, the Obama camp had concerns how that turned out.

Obama's response, in the form of various surrogates, was typical. They started trying to make the case that McCain was being racist because Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears are white. This may resound well with his supporters, but the battleground is the undecideds. I don't think the constant "any criticism of Obama is a racist attack" is resounding with the undecideds. That's one of the reasons why Obama have been slowly and steadily slipping in the polls. For the first time, I seen a Rasmussen poll with McCain ahead.

And Paris Hilton's response? I refer to Shane's pic.

If Paris' name were to appear on the ballot, I wonder how many votes she would get.

well i'm an undecided and i found the Mcain ad to be pretty freaking retarted. and paris may be a 'ditz' but her family isn't. you don't get to be a billionaire without a little smarts behind it. and Mcain comparing obama to a dirty slutty person is pretty much politics at it's very lowest point. the talking heads are trying to write it all off as just an ad done out of humor as a joke. but why would anyone want to see their contribution $$$ be wasted on humorous jokes. to me it makes the Mcain camp look pretty juvenile. it really comes off as kind of desperate to me. surely obama has some other talking points that can be attacked in a more mature manner. surely he has some other attributes that can be exploited other then having celebrity status. i mean c'mon. that's all they could could come up with? how bout the $1000 reabte that obama is promising. that's a pretty silly stance. why not attack that and point out the flaws of that plan. at least that sounds like SOME kind of a political plan. but ads comparing him to pop stars. now that just comes off as pretty sad to me.......

Well, I don't think Paris is a ditz. She's been able to turn partying into a career, so she must have something in the way of an IQ. I also think she wanted people to think she was a ditz. It's just part of her persona. I also think she's spoiled rotten, and if she ever had to deal with commoners, she'd be screwed!
