Would a political candidate audiophile be skewered


I just had this thought? If it were to come to light that a particular political candidate had even a modest high end set up (let's say 7-$10K) would they be skewered in the press/ late night show monologues?

I could see a candidate who was a vinyl hound being okay, and easily a candidate with a $5K big screen LCD (which no one would care about).

But could you imagine the bad publicity something like a (modest to many of us) $3500 turntable (or CD player or even speaker) could generate. Even worse would be a $500 speaker cable.

And an all out assault system like one featured here? Forget it - the American public would equate them with the $500 defense contractor hammer of years ago, or be branded a psycho elitist perfectionist.

The ONLY one I could see getting away with this behavior is my own mayor, Mike Bloomberg. I guess we are already comfortable having a billionaire modelizer, jet setter in office, so I think nothing would rattle we jadded New Yorkers.

Any thoughts?

Most of America would love Geoffkait, but Audioengr would confuse and frustrate them, drawing much ridicule.
