but I'm not sure it is accurate.
I believe that an honest Democrat, who looks like the Marlboro Man and can ride a horse and shoot a gun (without looking like an idiot), who runs on a Populist Platform of Economic Justice for Working Americans (a la Huey Long), avoids the Wedge Issues, can win ANYWHERE.
The answer to every question needs ONLY be, "Well, It looks to me like Americans who have to Work for a Living have been getting SCREWED for over 30 years. I aim to do something about that."
EVERY single appearance in front of the TV cameras can have the same exact script: "I was raised up in an America where anyone who wanted to work could find a good job,
where a working man could make enough to buy a good home,
could send his kids to a good school,
could buy a new American made car every few years,
could go to the doctor when they were sick,
could save some money,
could send his kids to college,
and save enough to retire in comfort.
I want THAT America back,
and ALL we have to do is return to the Economic Policies that allowed us to do that.
Its all there, written down in the History Books.
We CAN have that again!"
(of course, this would include things that don't have to be mentioned, like Public Utilities, regulated transportation, regulated trade, tax rates on the top brackets of 70%, hefty Capital Gains Taxes, Glass-Steagall, limited Media ownership & the Fairness Doctrine .....among many other things)
This Man or Woman could get elected anywhere, but good luck making it through the Democratic Party Primaries. The "Centrist" Party leadership would do everything in their power to prevent this person from winning a Primary.
You will know them by their WORKS, not by their excuses.
