Although jobs are coming back, they do not have the prestige, pay, accumulated benefits they once enjoyed. So I would guess the working class Democrats are not too happy... That's the first I've heard of "prestige" as a characteristic of concern. But, OK. Are you suggesting that working class Republicans are happy about their prestige, pay and benefits decreasing? Or are there no working class Republicans? jttmab

IMO the Presidents job is too complicated for a mere Senator. He should have had the experience of running a major State, dealing with billions, with all kinds of organizations including the greenies, and crooked corporations like the energy and utility people in California. Like Bush did? In case you hadn't noticed, his "experience" of running a major state hasn't helped him much in running the country, especially (IMHO, of course) with foreign policy. He has made one gaffe after another. Though it is true, he still might survive against Kerry. But please, governors are far from the only people with relevant experience to be president. Personally, I think Joe Biden would actually have made a better president than either Kerry or Bush, but that, of course, is IMHO and not at this point very plausible.
