1. Oh, yeah, the spectacle of big city, Ivy League lawyers

in small town diners and at county fairs showing they're reg'lar folks and fooling no one, while missing that poor rural folks who would move to a city in a heartbeat if they had a way to support themselves and city folks who are living on ramen for a week before the rent's due would love to move out to fresh air if they had a way to support themselves all think they're utter twits. And they're right. Plus, they push the fiction that rural, small town America is the only part that counts in a country where 80% live in cities and burbs.

Then again, I can't see them working a Knicks crowd in NYC or a Bruins crowd in Boston, they'd get chewed up and spit out fast.

However, I'd love to see them ditch the diners and the county fairs and I think the people in the diners and county fairs are most likely sick of being used as political props every election season.

And even if they feel compelled to visit a county fair, no more corn dogs, I beg of them. Please.
