In 2000 Al Gore proved, among other fateful decisions, what a mistaken, polarizing ploy it was to play the class-warfare card. Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean’s inimitable, populist punch lines now recall that counterproductive strategy. GOPsters were surely waxing more deja vu that affronted when they heard Dean quip recently that a lot of Republicans “have never made an honest living in their lives.” Trip-wire rhetoric is always dicey, but an “insult the undecideds” approach is a status quo plan to remain out of power.
