Now, I know the USUAL strategy with nonsense like this is to totally ignore it, but our good ol' country is so superstitious, and this election is gonna' be so close (unfortunately), that something this dumb MIGHT actually effect the polls in some swing state down the line. And you KNOW the Karl Roves of the world are coming up with an angle to exploit the coincidence. ("Swiftboat Veterens for Sound A-Like Names Conspiracy Theories" perhaps?)
Of course, anytime someone brings this up in the mainstream press everyone might just quickly say exactly that. "Chalk it up to conspiracy theories and nut jobs." But that may not be the best approach.
So when some slime bucket from Fox News corners Barack or Joe or one of their peeps on the campaign trail and says some stupid shit like "What do you say to all this talk about your names together sounding like Osama Bin Laden. Obviously there's no connection, right?" I think they should do a jujitsu like move by saying "Of course there's a connection! The Obama Biden administration is going to capture Osama Bin Laden and bring him to justice. Something the Bush Cheney adminstration couldn't do for almost 8 years!"
Cute pivot, don't you think?
