Shocking, just shocking….

The convention delegates seem to support gay marriage at a much higher level than the general population.

Duh.  They’re Democrats.  And, unlike the ticket, they don’t
have to get elected against an incumbent “war president” who’s made
cultural issues the focus of the election.  What’s truly appalling
is that he and his party have succeeded to the extent that one can no
longer address economic disparity issues without being called a “class
warrior.”

“Class” has become the dirty-word, third rail of American national
politics.  And yet, we know that one of the most predictive
indicators of people’s political beliefs (apart from a candidate) is
socio-economic class.
