Being close to money snd having many rich operatives forced the Democrats to the right. 2008 was the victory of the upper middle classes over everybody below them. Even veteran lefties such as Pelosi, who grow up in the labor town Baltimore, never mention the poor anymore; it's the middle class (actually the lower middle class isn't included).<br />The poor and the lower middle class don’t fit into the moneyed and cultural framework of the Democratic power elite. As said, the hacks don’t need the hicks unless it’s election year. The arrogance and ridicule are traits of moneyed ruling class, the faux lefty blogs, the MSM and of course, Obama. To extrapolate on Robert Reich, Nebraska will vote Democratic when the rich will be much poorer and the Democrats will recall their original agenda and the operative won’t come from Wall Street but rather the unions and the poor communities.Koshem Boshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724595772791711326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-89035814412078974912010-10-30T23:28:31.507-07:002010-10-30T23:28:31.507-07:002% less evil is still evil.2% less evil is still evil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
