Populism and the inherent demagoguery that goes with it are examined in light of Obama's campaign this year. Populism, in one form or another, has always been with us throughout history.

I think it is clear that "they" are typical white "folks."
Hanson and Mencken both seem to have the same idea don't they?
Do you think Obama will have to debate Hillary? Won't he look like a wuss if he refuses?

What is there to debate? Hillary has no choice but to toe the leftist line. Both candidates have no choice but to have the same view on all the issues. That being the case, Democrats don't have any further interest in hearing more of the same.
