It's obvious with the fundies, but the draw from the right seems to be low taxes (a lie) and racism.
The only difference between the middle class condescension of the Dems and the pseudo-aristocratic condescension of the Reps is that the Dems believe their shtick about making everyone middle class, while the Rs are utterly cynical about it.
Making a difference doesn't just mean reaching out, but removing the dog whistle talking points.
As long as anyone can use 'Socialism' and 'Tax and Spend' as a way to end an argument, the Dems are going to have problems.
It's not like it has to be hard. Obama's recent emphasis on J.O.B.S. should start to make a difference.
Seed the meme that the GOP steals jobs while the Dems look after them, and the GOP is toast.
