Which reinforces my suspicion that the LBO-list is a little skewed in its demographic towards the larger cities, and out of touch with small town America, as, I believe is much of the US left.
That strikes me as a problem, especially seeing some of the visceral hatred that Sarah Palin's candidacy provokes. I suggest that a lot of that reaction is just anti-working class prejudice, masquerading as anti-republicanism (in much the same way that the left here kept its most bitter attacks for 'Essex Man' who was supposed to have cost Labour victory throughout the 1980s).
The glee that the liberal press take in reporting the (thoroughly ordinary) problems in Ms Palin's family life seems to exemplify their disdain for ordinary people.
