Subject: RE: BS: NJ Gay Governor quits!
Rabbi-Sol, I absolutely do not think that they will. blue collar America is now a different animal. As a general rule, it is no longer the unionized factory worker group it once was. There just aren't that many factories here anymore. Blue collar America is now led by our police and fire departments, who after 9//1 have taken on new heroic status and are considered I believe both patriotic and conservative. The patriotic conservative vein in blue collar lifestyles now has a soundtrack of Toby Keith and Alan Jackson.
