I just read a really interesting interview with a UC Berkeley sociologist who has done research into why blue collar males continue to support Bush when his economic policies don't favor their interests.
Be sure to read the accompanying article from Alternet too. I'm interested in hearing all viewpoints on this - from the left and on the right. It'd be nice if it didn't devolve into mud-slinging.
Both pieces are really long, so I won't post them here - but here's the URL to the interview:
