Call Me Crazy

Call me crazy, but I think Reagan Democrats will sit out the 2008 Presidential elections.
Here's why.
Their guy, or anyone who looks like him or her, is not in the race.
This group was repeatedly chided by Republican and Democratic pundits during the presidential primaries as the people that have consistently voted against their own economic interests.
To be clear, they along with just about everyone else, except oil fat cats, have seen their purse strings grow tight, and some have been robbed blind of their jobs. Those jobs were hijacked in the name of big corporate interests and taken to foreign lands, not yesterday, but over the last 45 years.
Is this an overstatement about one group being hood winked, of course, especially when you consider they and a number of other citizens cast their votes not once but twice for the current administration, on whose watch the economy tanked.
How does that saying go..."fool me three times...?"
And if, you are to believe the interviews some Reagan Democrats or Reagan Republicans gave during the democratic primaries about having trouble with diversity as representative of the group, then it is obvious they truly don't have an elephant or donkey in this race for the Oval office.
Call me crazy, but Reagan Democrats will save on gas and not venture out to the polls in droves this election season, and that is more than a shame; it should be viewed as a genuine concern for the democratic process on a number of fronts.
