WHETHER it makes sense or not, elections, or news of them, seem to have the power to move the market. Will it be the same this time around?

Thomas Frank asserts that the Republican Party built a winning coalition in recent elections by convincing white working-class voters to cast their ballots on the basis of cultural wedge issues. Larry Bartels, conversely, argues that economic issues remain paramount to white working-class voters.
