Paul Begala: “It's a real issue and it's one where there is -- one of the few, where there's a clean difference.”

So, I have my concerns with the way Abdul is running his campaign.

He didn't get elected because folks want to buy Greenland. He got elected because folks want to buy groceries. And he, by God, better cut the cost of groceries, gas and rent.

For the first time since Reagan, a Republican, won voters making less than 50 grand a year. Now, as a Democrat, I don't like that. But as an American, I admire it.

I'm skeptical because I don't think he gives a rip snort about those blue collar guys who voted for him.
