Actually, we're all probably talking at cross purposes here.  I'm thinking 
"working class" and the folks in the middle economically.

Middle class is defined as "In some societies, the richest class, but 
without a title of nobility"  "also known as the Bourgeoisie"  "A social and 
economic class lying above the working class and below the upper class" 
Which makes McCain more right than I.

However, that said, I'm going with the "real" *middle" class, those in the 
middle $47,000 to $56,000 a year.  Those who actually produce something, 
those that actually "work."

Not those that make a couple hundred K a year for doodling on a piece of 
paper.  She hasn't a clue about the average American.  And, believe me, you 
don't want to read my review of her book <g>
