He legitimately got "moderate/center" working class voters to come into his fold, because people believed him when he said he wanted to improve their economic conditions. At the end of the day, the "extreme" social issues posts like HeroicCrono (is that TimJab? Remind me who this is?) say scare people away only scare away people who don't think the economic benefits make it worthwhile. If their needs were being met, they would have a whole lot less time to stew and become disgruntled over the social issues that don't actually affect their life at all.
The way it is now, they see their lives getting worse and assume it has to be because of the leftist weirdos, when it reality it's the morons in the center who also let the "leftist weirdos" take the blame when they don't do shit.
I agree and dont think this contradicts my post at all! In fact it complements it nicely.
