I'm talking about talking to POOR republican voters. They know economic disparity. They know it firsthand. And they can't for the life of them get over the fact that their kids will not get an extra 10 points on a college entrance exam. This despite the nearly undeniable fact that their kids won't even make it through high school. It's so sad. So very sad.

However! Light at the end of the tunnel: Jesse Jackson has written an editorial about Appalachia and is touring the region trying to draw attention to the plight of the poor there. This one effort by him has done more to get certain poor people to open their minds to the thought of voting Democratic than anything else I have tried.
