This is why I scoff at bloggers and commentators who think Obama bashing Wall Street and touting financial reform is going to hurt Republicans, as if they are the party of Big Business and Wall Street. Newsflash: Wall Street is deep into both parties, and Democrats actually get more money from Wall Street than does the GOP. All you have to do is follow the career of Robert Rudin, Larry Summers, and the trail of Goldman Sachs execs who have landed on both sides of the aisle to see this illustrated plainly. And guess what? The general public implicitly understands this; efforts to paint the Democrats as righteous populists will fall flat almost as quickly as attempts by Republicans to do the same.
