I bet Yuval Levin is right about O’Bama shrinking down, so far as nonblack voters are concerned, to being just the yuppie candidate.
My attention keeps getting snagged on all these metaphors for the Democrats’ class dichotomy, though. Back before the metaphor-mongers got to work, it was just “blue collar” vs. “white collar.” Then it became “beer Democrats” vs. “wine Democrats.” (Very wittily illustrated by Roman Genn on in the March 10 issue of NR, p.17). Then David Brooks comes up with the Safeway vs. Whole Foods trope. I’ve seen PC Dems vs. Mac Dems somewhere. Is anyone collecting these things?
