The problem with the blue collar Dems in my family is that 1. many are government employees or are dependent on government contracts for a paycheck and 2. have a “another day, another dollar” attitude that causes them to resent “the rich.” Its a worldview that is very difficult to change.
I’m not saying they will vote against Obama. I’m just giving them an excuse if they don’t. By the way, with the Republicans that are getting elected, I don’t think the government employees have to worry about their jobs.
