(I have been told by insightful liberals on this forum that I am both of those. Funny...neither is the case.)
You forgot about social conservative religious nuts and bigots of all economic classes.

Karma is biting him in the rear
both middle class and upper class are strongly behind Romney right now, that could change as we all know. In your view, middle class is fading, whether true or not, most Americans classify themselves as middle class. I don't think your view on the failure of the middle class will affect the election this year. Down the road, only time will tell.

As for the middle class and the unions, I really do not blame Obama for not being part of the movement: he knew Walker would probably prevail and joining with the unions would have hurt him more than help him. Right now and for the next 5 months, both candidates are consentrating on what they do to help themselves. I do not like Obama, as most realize, but I think he did the right thing. You notice, Romney wasn't in WI supporting Walker either.

You have described Obamas supporters perfectly!
