It's funny how people want to vote for folks "just like us" even if those same folks aren't actually going to do anything to improve their lot.
Agreed. I think it's a universal thing where people just assume that if you come from similar backgrounds, that you must understand them more than the other guy.
I don't really blame the Republicans for exploiting this - after all this is politics and the Democrats have been known to do this too. I do, however, think the Democrats are dumbasses for dithering talking about totally stupid shit for the last seven days instead of focusing on the issues.
