You call any attempts to point out the negative campaigning of the Clinton camp 'smears, while trying to push the 'Obama is an elitist' meme. That make work with 'low information voters,' but it certainly is not going to work with me.

Let's look at a few facts, shall we, or are you allergic to those?

Hillary Rodham Clinton was the daughter of a successful businessman who grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois, a wealthy Chicago suburb.

Barack Obama was raised by a single mother who financially struggled at times.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have a net worth over $100 million.

The Obamas now have a net worth of around $4 million, due to income from his book, but until recently they were still paying off their college loans.

Obama is generally known as a decent and likeable fellow.

Hillary Clinton is notorious for treating her employees badly, screaming at Arkansas State Troopers, for example.

From where I sit, it is the Clinton's who are elitists. This is classic Karl Rove tactics - accuse your opponent of your own failings.
