Salena Zito writes about the pople of Bedford Falls, the town in It's a Wonderful Life.

Main Street America has entered an era of populism that embraces neither party. People are tired of government bailouts, spending and unchecked corruption, as well as the media's perceived lack of curiosity or investigation into all three.
They are really tired of being told their values and way of life are not politically correct.

They don't believe in elitist and snobby answers to their problems. They don't even want other people defining their problems for them. Buzz off!

Salena Zeto: Writing about the elections coming up this Tuesday, she says, "One thing is certain: Wednesday morning will pose a hangover for both parties as they assess going forward." Both parties will find out for the first time what the mood of the electorate really is.
