This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd

Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

No wonder McCain did not know the current price of gas. I haven't seen anything published on this, I heard it this morning on CNN and MSNBC.

So, where is the crime?
In AX you must pay the balance.
Good for her.
Cindy just came from overseas in Operation Smile (Children with cleft palate) Therefore, she paid for the gas in her jet probably.

here is the video that supports that claim.. info on cindy about 5mins in. also more info can be found here on politico.com where this report came from.
good find ham.
determined..w hent he gop paints obama as an elitists, this is news.. it isnt a crime but when america is in a recession and thousands are losing their jobs, it's a bit offensive to them to see someone spend in one month more than they will see in a lifetime,. SO who is the elitist? and Who might actually know the price of gas and the pains that the less rich might endure.
do you think hat someone who spends almost 1 million in a month cares about the price of gas? heck it could be $20 a gallon, milk could be $50 a gallon and it would barely effect mrs mcains lifestyle. People like the mccains dont even notice recessions.. even mccain mistakenly stated that he thought we were all better after 7 years of bush finacially.. this is right after the morage debocal. The guy is clue less of what it is life to be an average american.

Hillary is in about $10,000.000.00 debt.
Obama receives more than $5,000,000 mo. for spending in his political campaign.
Those are a lots of zeros for the Dems.

How come AX disclosed that information? If they have a "loose" tongue employee should be fired or any one in the Senator's camp?
And I remember a comment about Mrs. McCain because she is the beer's heiress.
Remember Mrs. Heinz-Kerry?
Any more info?

wow determiend..cant read huh..
it was the disclosure made by cindy.. it is in my link above.
mind you cindy still hasn't released this years returns.. she went as far as to file an exension so that she wouldn't have returns to release. Plus mccain has releases less info of any candidate since reagan.
as for clinton did it too er I mean kerry did it too.. doesn't make it right.. but anyways the kerries werrnt runing on the campaign that the bush's were elitists.

if the gop has some sort of evidence against obama, I will be more than willing to hear it.. thing is.. all yous guys do is offer comments with no back up data. If yall actually had somethign, just like with the lapel pin, michelese proud of america statement, and reverend wright.. it would be ont eh news 24/7 on every station, but it isnt .. why might you ask?

I think you should do this up in a proper article armed with the facts..
interstign commetns from the article linked above. when asked why they bought 2 condos in an exclusive area in California.. this was her reply.
"When I bought the first one, my husband, who is not a beach person, said, 'Oh, this is such a waste of money; the kids will never go,' she told Vogue. Then it got to the point where they used it so much I couldn't get in the place. So I bought another one.
LOL oo the trials and tribulations of the rich.. sicne her children were at the condo so much, she needed another.
The McCains increased their budget for household employees from $184,000 in 2006 to $273,000 in 2007, according to John McCains tax returns.
their budget for help is 5 times the median wage in america..the rest of us have to nag the kids to do the dishes.
The government is already beholden to the top2%, they give the most money for electiosn and such.. while the median wage since the 70s adjusted for inflation has actually dropped, these people have seen their wealth increase year after year, recessions or no recession. The current gov is more concerned about the estate tax so the rich can stay rich even when they are no longer producers, than they are about child health care. DO we really need someone who has benefited from government policies supporting the insanely wealthy in the WH to continue more of the same?
mccaisn idea for fixing the economy is making bush's estate tax cut perminate.. get it? he thinks that by protecting his kids inheritance, it is going to help you make ends meet. and don't forget that under bush out debt as doubled.. do you think the mccains will stay int eh us when the chinese cash out their bonds? who do you think will have to actually pay for these borrow and pend policies?
YOu that's who

because the gop is callign obama a country club elitist,, when he doesn't have million dollar monthly bills.
why cause the country is in a recession and mccaisn cure is to give a tax break to his wife.
why?
cause americans are hurting and this guy doesn't even know the price of gas and doesn't even know we are in a recession.
why?? cause they are going to make every dime obama has as news as well. crap look at determined tryign to equate what obama is spednign on his campaign with the personaly finaces of cindy mccain.
No nothing is WRONG with it.. heck we'd all love to have that kidn of money.. just it shows that these people are not going to have much in common with 99% of americans and right now we should be thinkign of us first.. not teh corps.. not the top 2% .. not the banks.. the people and I just don't think that someone who spend s more than most americasn will see in their lifes can undertsand the common man.
but no one is saying it is wrogn or evil or her.
she simply is not my peer.
I wouldn't hire a hiar dressor to do computer programming as they understand it.. well I wouldn't hire the mccains to fix the woahs of the middle and lower clases, namign the recession as they don't even think we are in one. that all.. hey she can go back to shoppign in secret all she wants afer nov,

tschreck,
Your probably correct on both topics. Politics and my engineering logic just don't seem to connect all that well so it seems when I do stray into this area, many of the times, those points do seem to pass right by me. Plus living in Redmond could be somewhat of an "different economy" then many area's also and I was not watching that part of the whole thing that closely.
So comment noted and appreciated.

"Elitist" is not about money, it's about not liking the greasy breakfast of the common men and women that work in the South.
Do you know the price of the Aurugula?
This is what "elitist" means.
No one can claim that Mrs McCain was in the advocacy of the "savior" of the poor like Hillary Clinton.
