So John Edwards and Mitt Romney are the 2 millionaires in the presidential race, NYT did a report on them

Also, CNN had a clip of John Edwards surrounded by genuine looking pinched Middle Class.

I understand what he is saying about the 2 Americas, but most Americans feel solidarity with everyone, so that 2 Americas talk can sound shallow and weird.

We get it, it is not like everyone runs a hedge fund of 800 million and joins Citibank in their early 50s and becomes the CEO in 6 months.

There are many Indias just like there are many Americas.

The point is which America is gonna show up to vote, and John Edwards rich boy looks and fake accent, even though he is from the South, his accent sounds weird, and he looks like a rich beltway boy, which Al Gore was but never looked like, and it is hard to see populists voting for him. I think Hillary or Barack will get the primary votes. Bill Richardson is running for Secretary of State apparently, he dont talk about Somalia or Assam or the piracy on the high seas and persuasion dont always get everywhere.

As for Mitt Romney, money still looks like he will be President, those who turn up to vote for him will be the anxious Middle Class that want small government, who dont want to support a bigger safety net and who want lower taxes, becoz they have confidence in their own ability to save and plan and prepare for their own future.
