Take this article with a pinch of salt but I at least found it amusing. And I do think they carefully consider symbolism (as they should).

(Just reread the article. I think the points are weakened by over-partisan, indeed classist, nastiness. Why bash the young Levi? Is some innocent and wholly normal trash-talking on MySpace enough to brand him forever as a thug?)

I looked at his MySpace page. Seems a perfectly ordinary high school kid who's got his girlfriend pregnant, and it's not like there aren't at least a couple of those at every high school in the country.
Calling him a thug is uncalled for. I do like that his MySpace page uses language that his mother-in-law-to-be was trying to ban from the public library (unless Sarah Palin had more exotic taste in censorship than the usual garden variety "fuck" which even the current vice president has been known to utter across the aisle in Congress).
But in any case, he's not running for President. Sarah Palin is. Or at least VP to a sickly President, and those have been known to kick off barely a month after taking office (and McCain would be older than Harrison), so yeah, President.
