That is a sorry state of affairs, for sure. The left does indeed have it's own "elitest" cross to bear. Our 1%ers may not be as greedy as theirs but they still live beneath the common benefit of not being terribly inconvenienced, whoever gets elected. Remember the Kerry campaign vs Ed Shultz? Opportunities lost...…… I'm not sure if it's in the same vein but I could never understand how so many continued to perceive Hillary's persona as generated by the news talk yahoos. That should have been easy to counter.
