That was kind of my point. Did you not get we were making the same point? Perhaps my use of the word elite was too nuanced.

It has nothing to do with beer. It about identifying with the candidate. You and I identify with candidates who are elite. Some people identify with Joe Six Pack. And people are more trustful of those with whom they can identify. I agree with you: there is a long-established tradition in America that is wary of 'intellectuals' - that characterizes them as 'impractical', 'dreamers': Dusty misfits who haunt libraries. We the People seem to value 'Horse Sense' over mere 'Book Learnin' Of course, I think this is not a fair box to put Obama in.
