Here’s a true story. My wife went up to Vegas to do some GOP voter canvassing the weekend before the GE. It was a weekend bus thing organized by the McCain campaign with lodging, etc and various random people from LA/OC that were signed up. A bus full of strangers.

My wife’s aunt joined her for the trip.

Her aunt had for the first time in her life crossed over from D to R, largely I believe because she was very much behind Hillary and disapproved of certain things in the D primary. Picture a Japanese female union electrician worker who grew up in Hawaii and ultimately went to work in downtown LA in some pretty offbeat places as the only female in the crew. Solid D. Way solid D. Unionista, etc. You get the picture.

So they go up and come back. I ask the aunt how things went. This is what she says: “You know, the thing that surprised me the most is that there were no rich people on the bus.”

What does one say to that?
