Wealth Is Good

Dean Barnett questions "how genuinely scandalized the Democrats are by McCain’s wealth" and doesn't think that the attack will work:

If McCain spends a lot of money on his wardrobe, it doesn’t show. He may wear $550 loafers, but (and I say this respectfully), he still manages to look extremely frumpy. He doesn’t wind-surf or snow-board. Having been laid as low in his life as he was in Vietnam, McCain just doesn’t come across as the kind of rich guy who floats above the concerns of the ordinary citizen.

But if he puts mega-rich theocon Romney on the ticket, the class war needs no organization, does it?
