Also, the elitism thing is about playing off naturally populist sentiment among the working class.  Historically, populism was usually left wing, since the right was linked strongly to social and traditional conservatism and thus the maintenance of the status quo.

However, with the discrediting of conservatism in America from the 1930s to 50s, the foundations of a more just economic system and social progress only being debated in terms of how fast it should happen, social liberalism came to be seen as part of the elite ideology.  Thus, at great cost and with a massive rebranding project, the right tried to portray itself as the party of the people - appealing to those whose own natural social conservatism clashed with more liberal ideals, but who economically were better off voting for left-wing groups.

Thats part of how the GOP continues to get people to vote against their economic interests.  The elitism thing really is laughable, coming from a party of what is essentially the mega-rich, with financial backing from the world's richest and largest companies, and whose current ruling ideology holds that people are too stupid to decide things for themselves, and need Philosopher Kings to make the real decisions.

But the marketing is more powerful than the fact, and because the Dems tie their own hands by trying to be reasonable and rational, they get owned repeatedly on this point.  Its not that the Dems are any less part of the American elite society than the Republicans, but economically at least some of them have interests that do not run counter to those of the working classes.  There is actually a level of debate in the Democratic party that goes beyond "how many no-bid contracts can we give away to our cronies while undermining labour laws" which by definition makes them better than the GOP.

But because people have been told that these people are effete, latte drinking intellectuals and elitists, their natural populism comes into play, and they vote Republican out of spite and class hatred.  Thats part of the reason why I like Howard Dean, he's recognized this bullshit for what it is and wants to work against it.  But so long as policy wonks, "centrists" and political dynasties try to dominate the party, its probably not going to happen, and the branding will stick.
