Michael Steele discusses how recent Democratic victories in states like Virginia and New York City suggest the party may be "cracking the code" for future elections. He attributes the reported "jitters" among Republicans to these unexpected losses, highlighting how the Democratic focus on affordability is proving to be a powerful, unifying message that cuts across ideological lines. Steele suggests this strategy is successful because the rhetoric and actions of national figures in politics often seem out of step with the concerns of the everyday working American.
