Obama To Sponsor Car at Nascar Race

Now I'm squarely in the Obama camp, but boy this comes off as pandering if I ever saw it.

What do you guys think?

Yeah i don't think most of those people are voting for Obama anyways. This isn't going to help.

Its for a Toyota. Michigan was a close state last election too.

no real downside. don't think the ROI is going to be great for him, but whatever... he has the money.

Re: Obama To Sponsor Car at Nascar Race

Am I missing something? From Huffington Post:

"Late Friday, the Obama campaign said there would be no sponsorship."

I guess you can switch your position on guns, flag lapel pins, the Iraq War, etc , but to associate yourself with Nascar people would be a bridge too far.

In fairness to McCain, he can flip-flop with the best of them.

Guess this is going to turn into a political battle where no one will listen, and everyone will keep their same frame of mind. There is no point talking about politics here.
When the hell is the season coming back? It feels like it's been over a year since I last saw the SKins.

First, this thread is about Obama. In case you hadn't noticed, he's running for President. This IS a political thread. Second, so the conservatives can take jabs at Obama, but I can't at McCain?
