Poor white men don't all act in the same way, and we want to know, if 
possible, what makes a difference in their behaviors.  What makes 
some poor white men politically identify with rich white men rather 
than men and women of their own class regardless of race, gender, 
etc., and what makes other poor white men politically identify with 
men and women of their own class regardless of race, gender, etc. 
rather than rich white men?
