First, there just aren't many poor white men-- most of lower class are women
and people of color. Only 18% of white men have incomes of under $30,000 per
year.  So with 37% of the population being non-hispanic white men, we are
talking about basically 7% of the population that is in this prototypical
poor white male category.  It would be nice to get more of them and I am all
for promoting NASCAR and gun culture if that will pull them back on the
economic issues, but the real key is to mobilize the real working class
constituency in the United States-- which is overwhelmingly female and of
color.
