		<description>Speaking of political rhetoric...

I'm thinking the "bigoted, less-educated, white, working class male Bubbas" that the media keep mentioning who live in Indiana and other fly-over states, and who may make the difference in the Democratic race, could go for Hillary's "gas tax holiday" stunt.  I really think they'll see saving $30 over three months as a good plan for solving the increasing gas price issue.  It's scary that we, meaning people who are following the campaign, will not make as much of a difference as the "working class, 10mpg-pickup- truck driving males" who could tip the scale in Clinton's favor.   This could be a case in which the simpler, instantly gratifying message- Save $30 this summer- could beat Obama's more practical message, which takes more than a 15 second sound byte (or 10 words for print media) to explain.</description>
