========== begin excerpt ===============

If Brat does go to Congress as a conservative critic of big business,
and of the GOP’s alliance with corporate interests, he could open up a
lot of new debates within the party, and beyond its boundaries. On
election night, he was telling Fox News, “The issue is the Republican
Party has been paying way too much attention to Wall Street and not
enough to Main Street.” He spoke of “a fissure between Main Street and
Wall Street,” arguing that Republican leaders had forgotten that,
“Dollars dont vote, people do.”

And the last two paragraphs refer to Nader's new book.
