Is anyone surprised the that Palin/McCain answer to the woes of America is "be afraid of Obama"?

No, I'm not. It is just more of the same fear mongering that we've been getting for the last 7 years. And yet it seems to be working with a large faction of people. Disappointing. It seems as if the American people no longer understand where the real power lies, and in not understanding, handing it over to the very people who are only consumed with their own interests and agendas.
