27. There are certainly enough of the poor
to be a solid voting block, if they vote in their best interests.

I guess the only way to know what kind of neighborhoods they are spending time in is to show up when he comes to your region.

In '03, I listened to DK speak on the steps of a courthouse in a downtown area. He also showed to walk the picket line with grocery workers' strikers in so cal that year. I also met him in a private home, which was definitely NOT poor, lol.

I know he's showed up at coffee houses and plenty of smaller, more accessible venues. I think he's accessible to the poor, if they know he's coming. His local campaign organizers might want to do more to get information about him to that voting segment, and to make sure they know when he's going to be in town. Perhaps a focused effort for house parties in working class neighborhoods.
