White Working Class

EJ Dionne states the obvious and admonishes the Ds not to "ignore" the white working class. I get his point about how "race" became an issue for a few days after Hillarah's campaign made it one, but seriously...does he honestly think the candidates are ignoring them? Plus, He indicates that he's seen John Edwards at least a few times. I think Edwards has said "fight for the middle class" well over a thousand times in the last several months and it's not exactly working out for him.

The working class of the country most certainly do need to be courted, but the GOP proved that coming at them with a basket full of goodies isn't necessary. American flags, football, and gushy talk about being "real" Americans will suffice--though I sincerely hope that is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
