I'd absolutely agree, and I'm interested to see where he roots the cause. He might also have considered how it plays as more 'macho' to disdain equivocation, the way those woolly liberals see both sides of an issue, assess and sometimes even - shock - change their minds as a result! This sentence is lovely... With investment bankers, it’s 2-to-1 [donations to the Democratic Party over the Republican Party]. It took talent for Republicans to lose the banking community. Well of course. But no one is going to stay with a party where they are made to feel so unwelcome, and where the brain is looked upon as a badge of shame.

She's the candidate of the downwardly evolving - of people who believe in the gut and not the brain, who fear the "other" and anything new. She's the next step in the Rove-designed politician: she's trying to capture and shape the vote of people who feel and react but cannot, will not think for themselves. Far more than McCain, she and the movement she represents are the enemy of progress and reason.
