Nixon politics
Sup Nixon-Rove politics of resentment, how are you today? If/when Obama loses it’ll be because of this. People will resent the fact that he has succeeded and they have not. Voting for Palin, and they are voting for not McCain but for her, will be a way for them to stick it to those who have succeeded because she’s just as much of a white trash fuck up as they are.
This is important for any democrat to understand. The Republican party, after Nixon, learned that they could win by presenting themselves as joe-regular guy.
