This sort of snooty "those people are just scum" routine is left-wing arrogance at its most repulsive, also at its most self-destructive. However, I think Obama himself is smarter than that. He knows he has to win over many people who are not quite upper-crust if he is going to win. They both know that.

That's a bullshit characterization and a strawman.
The OP's clear intent was to sarcastically complain about McCain giving a speech surrounded by bikini contests and music in response to the complaints lodged previously about Obama giving a speech after a rock concert where alcohol was served.
What your line of argument is attempting to do is trade an attack on the activities for an attack on the people. It's like saying "you hate the troops" because someone is opposed to the war. I call bullshit on that one.
