I am pretty sure this is satire...

I am just waiting to see how many hate-mongering hysterics from the Left jump in and claim they have received this email too!!! A'la the Palin/"Kill Him" BS...

Michale....

Apparently your ears don't work too well or you're a paid hack. Which is it? This may be satire but some stuff coming from Mc-samey's camp sound like The Onion wrote 'em so it seems to me their campaign has no bottom in how low they would stoop if they thought it'd help 'em win. Frankly, I would not be surprised if Ashley Todd was some cooked up October surprise by someone higher up than she.

That's your opinion...

So, you are going to accept this as "real" simply on the basis that it COULD be real??

How is that logical???
