I have been harping for some time in this space that opinion leaders, and even some pollsters, have been underplaying pocketbook issues like jobs, the economy, healthcare costs and so forth for too long. It’s evident that some others are finally grasping the political opportunities presented by this sorry economy that seems unrelentingly cruel. Unfortunately, it’s leading Democrats who are finally “getting it,” and their suggestion that the minimum wage be raised is finding strong support in polling. CONT.
