Has Obama successfully tied McCain to GW Bush or has this had little to no effect on average Americans?

I think he has, but he can do nothing about people being idiots...Let's face it--a lot of Americans only give a sh!+ about gettin' high/drunk, gettin' laid and goin' to McDonald's & Wal-Mart....oh, and what time's the game on? Already, I read that idiots are going to hair salons to get the same hairstyle as Sarah Palin---See, idiots always follow idiots....
