There is widespread displeasure with the exporting of jobs. Both Democrats and Republicans have had a hand in bringing about the job and factory displacement. If either party can successfully capitalize on that displeasure it will be a very formidable opponent attracting voters from a wide social spectrum.

If either party can successfully capitalize on that displeasure it will be a very formidable opponent attracting voters from a wide social spectrum.

That is exactly what the 'Rats did in my state in '06 and they swept the 'Pubs out of office by landslide margins. They're going to continue to hammer at it because they know they have a winning issue with middle class voters. They won't fix the problem, of course, but they'll make people think they are "doing something" about it. We elected a 'Rat governor for the first time in 16 years who said "I'm going to do something about it!', but never said what he was going to do. Didn't matter. It was still enough to get him elected in a historic landslide against a "True Conservative".
