I think this is right on target. The phrase "emotion rather than reason" is also dead-on. My sister, a soon to be first grade teacher, had to go to a "racism class" last week, and in her discussion group of ten people, when asked to name a racist, eight of them answered George Bush. None of them could back up their claims, and when presented with the fact that he has the most diverse cabinet to date, they said that was to hide the fact he was racist. These folks loathed Bush, and the only reason they could give was because "he is stupid". Now these same folks are upset with the Democrats because they aren't being successful in making the president eat dirt, which is evidenced by Sheehan wanting to run in Nancy Pelosi's spot next election.
As one of those urban-Catholic "values voters" who did not sit on their hands in 2006, the primaries are of upmost importance. I could not in good conscience vote for Guilianis when there are Brownbacks on the ballot.
