Democrats release television ads
Several Democratic candidates have unvieled their first television ads...Question: Do you think people really care if a candidate comes from humble backgrounds or not? Dean's family was rich, and this is seen by some as a disadvantage for a Democratic candidate. Are people so dense as to assume that because a candidate didn't come from poverty he can't relate to the needs of middle class Americans? If I recall correctly, FDR came from an aristocratic family, while Herbert Hoover was a self-made man from humble roots. Edwards and Gephardt play their humble roots up big, regardless of whether or not this will help them, does it matter at all?
