Here's the deal... Yeah, "blue collar" is something that the Republican Party has used it's PR people as a hook to get folks to vote against their own interests... They have done this going back to Daddy Bush who perfected it and passed it down to his boys who also are very good at it... It is class warfare but the Republicans, who stink at governing, are very good with PR and propaganda... They have convinced "Southern Man" (and his Midwestern and northern counterparts) that ***everyone*** with a higher education (college) is a silver-spoon elitist???

I mean, one has to give the Republicans credit for this but it is so far from the truth that if it didn't mean anything in terms who gets to run the country, it would be laughable...

Here's what has to happen: The Democrats need to counter this 3 decade old misconception about educated people with their own PR... They need to talk about their blue collar roots and how they and their families had to work hard and make sacrfices for the education... When the Democrats get this then they can crack the Southern Strategy...
