David Callahan wonders if more liberals are now as rich as Republicans, do we risk forgetting the poor and working families:
Liberal commentators have long debated the proper role of the upper class within the progressive coalition. This debate is timelier than ever, but it is also increasingly academic. Class politics has already remade itself. A sizeable chunk of affluent America has moved left, and that shift will endure despite the recent backlash in certain wealthy quarters against Obama and the Democrats. The challenge going forward is to successfully adapt the progressive project to this new reality.
