Cultural wedge issues and the current brazillionaire rescue effort..
This maniacal idiocy going on right now is arguably the strongest wedge issue out there and it cleaves on a different plane than most of the other strong wedges.

Lower through upper middle classes whether Lefty or Righty against the Plutocrats. There really aren't that many issues the Plutocrats care about than money, they have enough to avoid any silly social restrictions that might happen to inconvenience them.

My son in law with three kids that kinds of tends to drift rightward although he's by no means a freeper hates it when I bring up $2300 per man, woman and child mostly because of the greed of people who would already turn Croesus green with envy.

Hammer that wedge into this societal fault plane that's just been so starkly and rudely defined.

Tony Soprano would have more compassion than the Plutocrats, to them you're not even human.

1. If McCain votes for the bailout, then you might be able....
...to persuade a right-winger to vote Third Party based on that.

If McCain votes No, then this issue probably doesn't help us.

2. It's whether the Dems vote yes or not..

Takin' my time,
Usin' my line,
Tryin' to decide what to do.
Looks my my stop,
Don't wanna get off,
Got myself hung up on you.
Seems to me,
You don't want to talk about it.
Seems to me,
You just turn your pretty head and
Walk Away
Places I've known,
Things that I'm growin',
Don't taste the same without you.
I got myself in
The worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' ta doubt you.
Seems to me,
We talk all night, here comes the morning.
Seems to me,
You ignore just what was said and
Greet the day (solo)
seems to me,
you don't wanna talk about it.
Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it.
Seems to me,
You just turn your pretty head and
Walk Away.
I've got to cool myself down,
Stompin' around,
Thinking some words I can't name ya.
Meet you halfway,
Got nothin' to say,
Still I don't 'spose I can blame ya.
Seems to me,
You don't wanna talk about it.
Seems to me,
You justturn your pretty head and
You just turn your pretty head and
Walk away.
Walk Away
