3. I only heard the "middle class" left out once by a leading Dem spokesperson

It was recent, so I thought I would bring it up. But it was a very prominent person in a very high-profile setting. Again, I'm hoping the person just messed up. There is no way, in an election year, that we want to snub the middle class (or those aspire to it, aspire to return to it, or think they are in it, even if they aren't).

The fact that the middle class is under pressure, even with some falling out of it, should be a major concern. We need more votes to win. I, for one, don't want us to win by a squeaker. I want it to be a landslide.
