| Democrats and Middle America: What's the Real Problem?
Ross, Benjamin
Dissent, Winter 2006, v53, #1, pp8-12
"Ross suggests that Democrats must take up the challenge posed by Thomas Frank and reclaim the populist heritage of the New Deal in a new environment. He believes that doing this requires a willingness to attack economic unfairness, and that it also demands a greater sensitivity to the cultural preferences of Middle America, both in style -- it is no accident that for forty years every Democratic president has had a southern accent -- and in substance on issues such as gun control." Benjamin Ross is a community activist who writes frequently for Dissent.
