Okay, let me call his bluff. What statistics allow you to draw the 
conclusion that LF's base is at all pb. If anything, it seems like the 
average NOI member is working-class to the core. The people who attend 
his rallies are not shopkeepers, dentists, college professors. They are 
bus-drivers, autoworkers, shipping clerks, aren't they?
