Sarah Palin knows the way to the hearts of conservative Ohioans. In Lakewood, an affluent bedroom community 10 minutes from downtown Cleveland, Palin on Monday married two of her favorite attacks into one anti-Obama soliloquy that framed the Illinois senator as a creature of San Francisco--a city as hated by Republican voters for its congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi, as it is for being an overall bastion of liberalism. The crowd responded to Palin's enthusiastic attacks and promise of victory, at one point interrupting her to chant over and over, "We will win!"
Palin reminded the crowd of several hundred that San Francisco was the venue for Obama's remarks this spring that rural Americans cling to guns and religion because they are bitter. What a coincidence, then, that Obama was also in the City by the Bay when he disclosed that under a cap and trade plan he supports, polluters who disregard carbon emissions could "bankrupt" the coal industry. (Incidentally, John McCain also supports cap and trade, a program that would charge polluters for carbon emissions, giving companies financial incentives to reduce pollution). "There must be something about San Francisco," Palin said. "It's like a truth serum where when he's there he seems to be more candid. Remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the Klingons, all of us, I guess, you know holding onto religion and guns."
