Elitism? Is that a good idea?

Some Baltimore Sun columnist named Susan Reimer wrote her Obama campaign talking points column on Sarah Palin's inexperience (with some obligatory shots at McCain, of course—he's rich! he's old!) and included a line of attack that I suspect may quickly be abandoned:

Barack Obama was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, for heaven's sake. And the best McCain can do is a woman who minored in poly-sci at the University of Idaho?

Um, Susan, a lot more people in this country went to schools like the University of Idaho than Harvard, which is, fair or not, basically a synonym for East Coast snobbery and elitism.  So, go ahead and make that distinction.  We'll see how that works out in the long term.
