Look, the fact is we have a center in this country whether we want to admit it or not. It's unfortunately not a demographic center, it's a center of money, of power, of influence, and even [ultra-conservative media mogul Rupert] Murdoch is part of that center. They don't want chaos. They want the Fed to keep operating, they want Congress to function, they want a big military, whether they call themselves democrats or republicans. We're not a banana republic. The fact is there's not so much of a difference between Romney and Obama that the people who control Chase Manhattan and everything else want chaos and rioting in the streets, so we're not an ideological nation in that way.
