LOL. Yeah, wrong link.

The unions are solidly democratic, but Republican strategy has eroded them to meaninglessness over the past 50 years. You say cause, I say effect. That's really what we're arguing about - I'm arguing that the politics on the ground create effects like the New Democrats, while you're arguing that the New Democrats are the cause of "nobody talking to the working poor."

Fact of the matter remains - outside of the megachurches, outside of the South, outside of rural concentrations of "values voters", the poor vote Democratic same as it ever was.
