If the article was not about Obastard, then who was it about?
Either Joe the Plumber or Palin's child with Down Syndrome.
That's where they assigned all their investigative reporters.
OK. I checked.
The article doesn't mention any candidate by name and isn't about politics. It's just pop-psychology fluff. Zero comes up exactly once in the 183 reader comments, but the comment (#172, by sgo) does not cite him or his primary opponent as examples of the syndrome:
I feel like a fraud when I pretend to agree about a political candidate. But in some circles, if you tell people you're voting for a certain someone and that you dislike the other candidate, watch out, it can get ugly! Especially today...people feel VERY strongly about Obama/Clinton....Recommended by 3 Readers
