I agree. It has bugged me for some time that the GOP and their candidates basically ignore blue collar workers anymore. They always seem to focus on Big Business issues 100% and just think that these voters will just follow along. At least Rick is addressing issues like manufacturing and traditional values that matter to these voters. From what I can see, his message is resonating opening up a whole new source of votes to the GOP.

That is my take as well and one of the reason I believe Santorum to be a much stronger General Election Candidate than Gingrich.
You are absolutely right.
