David Brooks: "Hillary Clinton is a classic commodity provider... She’s got good programs at good prices. Barack Obama is an experience provider... Educated people get all emotional when they shop and vote. They want an uplifting experience so they can persuade themselves that they’re not engaging in a grubby self-interested transaction. They fall for all that zero-carbon footprint, locally grown, community-enhancing Third Place hype. They want cultural signifiers that enrich their lives with meaning."
