"Fighting for the Middle Class"

Christopher Hayes in The Nation explains how Ohio Senator-Elect Sherrod Brown's campaign slogan could translate into continued Democratic Party success.


"A troubling arrogance is in the air among the nation's most fortunate. Some shrug off large-scale economic and social dislocations as the inevitable byproducts of the 'rough road of capitalism.' Others claim that it's the fault of the worker or the public education system, that the average American is simply not up to the international challenge, that our education system fails us, or that our workers have become spoiled by old notions of corporate paternalism. "

And in The Wall Street Journal's Opinion Journal, Virginia Senator-Elect Jim Webb counsels against the reemergence of a class-stratified America.
