I said the vast majority of Americans have not heard of her.

The vast majority of American are not Republican activists.

Prominence, indeed.

To be clear, simply because YOU may have heard of her doesn’t make her prominent.

Certainly until McCain introduced her to the populace as his Vice Presidential choice, she was not famous or prominent, but relatively unknown. Isn’t that the definition of obscure?

Incidentally, I HAD heard of her before she was selected by Mr. McCain.
