5. I somwhat agree
But when I talk of populism, I really am not saying to embrace popular opinion for the sake of being popular. I know that could lead to anti-minority opinion sentiment, and the possible infusion of religious rhetoric, anti-immigration, and dedication to "symbolic issues". My version of populism is embracing a people v. powerful tone along with an image that resonates more with the common man or woman. Thats why I think Warner and Schweitzer have more of a chance and should be utilized as such. What I think more importantly is using populism to attack the corporate dominance of our governement and flip the word "elitist" back on the Repugs.
