As far as right-wingers inevitably winning the "populist outrage" battle in the US:--

What say ye to the video embedded in this Change to Win blog posting:

It's the mayor of Lansing, Michigan, duking it out with a FOX News Anchor. Granted, at the end of his spiel he hits some nationalistic notes that rub the wrong way, but I thought he was off to a good start. Openly, in-your-face pro-union, very feisty. It seems like he hit some sort of important "left-populist" vein you don't see tapped very often on TV.
