It is so odd the way the Republicans have resorted to class warfare in this election, and claim populist ground they don't deserve.
John McCain, a son of an admiral, privileged his whole life except for that time as a POW, married rich. He can't count his houses. Sarah Palin never really wanted for much, she's ambitious, yes, but ambitious like that popular high school girl who wanted to get on student body council.
Obama was raised poor and worked hard and studied and managed to get into and graduate from Harvard. His story is the American dream. Joe Biden was from tough mill Pennsylvania. Worked hard, went to Congress young, still doesn't have much money but has passion for our country.
The working class have so much more in common with Obama/Biden than with the Republicans. These are men who will fight for the values of the working class, not simply use their fear and bigotry against them.
May the genius of our democracy lead us from the dark illusions of right wing power mongers.
