GOP: Party of the Little Guy
Rod Dreher, on The Dallas Morning News Opinion blog, links to a report about who's giving to whom in the current electoral cycle. He is surprised to note that CEOs are giving to Democrats and janitors are giving to Republicans.
Yes, it is counterintuitive. I'm not surprised that business is coming around to supporting Democrats, given the mess Republicans have made of government in the last eight years. It should be surprising that the teamsters, autoworkers, and secretaries give more to Republicans than Democrats, since it's not in the self-interest, but that phenomenon has been noticed before, if not adequately explained. Obama tried to explain it, but mangled his words, so I don't think it's worth going there again. It's too radioactive.
