They shoved that values voters meme down our throats in '04 and '08. Tonight? Barely a mention.

Charles and Phyllis Lowder thought about Santorum, but ended up voting for Gingrich. They spoke for 20 minutes about the choice; Phyllis warned me that she had two hours left in her.

"If you leave the slanderous attacks out of it, he's got the best answers," she said. Slanderous? "This stuff about his wife is so old that it doesn't matter, and it's hard to validate. And why bring it up? It's not going to get my husband a job. It's not going to bring back our 401(k)."

Charles nodded. Two years earlier, he'd lost his maintenance job, and since then he'd only ever found part-time work. The Lowders' household income had fallen from $100,000 to $24,000. "We cashed out the 401(k) and we're selling stuff in the yard," said Charles.
