Ochobama

I have yet to fly Spirit airlines, which based out of Detroit makes it the first choice for my Michiganite GF due to some crazy, great deals. I’ve seen cross country flights range from literally pennies to under $100 on their often amusing web newsletters.

Of course the catch is limited selection and a bare bones flight with no in-flight movie, having to pay for everything extra save for the bathroom, all the while crammed together with other cheapskates who put cheapness in front of personal comfort (and with increased odds, personal hygiene).

Basically it’s the Walmart of airlines.

Anyhow the newest email had this:

Ochobama!
With Fares From $8* Each Way

Spirit, a Maverick in airline sales, brings you Ochobama! He's built his platform around bringing you low fares, from only $8* each way for $9 Fare Club** members. We're also offering many more great fares for everyone. Check out the low fares and save big today! All other sales Palin comparison. But hurry, the polls close on the best fares on November 4, 2008 at 11:59 PM ET! .

[insert collective groan]


Now I ask you, would there have been a different ad if McCain was leading in the polls?
