Well GUEST, I thought that you might have moved beyond the name calling, but I guess it isn't so. I do not hate Nader and Green voters, but it is useless to try and convince one whose motives are not honorable. But, why don't you answer the question instead of dancing away from it? I have asked you in this and other threads specific questions, but you don't want to answer them. I understand why, because I asked them to demonstrate a point. You are a pretty bright person, and know when your case lacks in the test of reason. That is why you choose not to answer. I understand, and will continue to point these examples out.

You are absolutely right about the Reagan Democrats, but all trends show that these folks are seeing the light today. The continued loss of manufacturing jobs seems to have gotten through and is making wedge issues less effective.
