The Republicans aren't the working class party and that won't change with this election. Whites love to overlook that many members of the working class are actually minorities. Go figure!
Hate to break it to you dude, but the working class vote has been voting Republican for quite awhile now.
Uh, hate to break it to
you, bud, but whites earning less than $50k per year are more Democratic than whites earning more than $50k per year. McCain won the former group by just 4; the latter group by 13. If you want to brag about the GOP winning working-class whites by a few percentage points as if it's some sort of mandate, then I guess you can do so...but the notion that they've been some reliably GOP voting bloc outside of the South for ages is ridiculous.
The only reason whites
as a whole aren't a swing voting bloc is because of bourgeoisie cookie-cutter suburbanites.
