There has been a lot of argument about whether Democrats need to win by running more to the left or more to the center. In my writings, I’ve contended that the best way for Democrats to gain ground is to run populist on economics. By working people, I mean not just the “working class,” often defined as the non-college-educated, but anyone who lives on paychecks and is not filthy rich. The people who insist that Democrats should not run on pocketbook issues because the economy has improved miss the point. In western Pennsylvania, the white working class is more than 60 percent.
