Democrats Need to Reconnect With Lower Income Voters

The Democrats need to reach out with populist message to white voters at the low end of the economic pyramid. Today's exit polls indicate that the GOP won a big majority (54 percent to 44 percent) of white voters living in households where the income is less than $50,000. FDR must be spinning around in his grave.

Could you have bothered to actually link to the exit poll?

What weak reporting. Any bum on the street could have written this.

One only has to tune in to MSNBC News to see that the idiot Dems want to believe that this huge upset is a referendum from the people telling government to start getting along. It' so stupid, it's laughable. It is in fact a referendum against Obama and the Dems for squandering 2 years shoving liberal policies down the throat of America while ignoring jobs. If they didn't learn this time, they surely will next time in 2012. Maybe by the time the GOP is done, their won't be any Dems left in government at all.

the American people are not stupid. They may be subject to deceit (2008) now and then, but deep down they are very savvy. They kept just enough democrat heads above water in the senate to throw rocks at, while "powning" the house. Come 2012 the left is going to smell what the American people got cooking!
