Ever read Thomas Ferguson's The Golden Rule? A non-votercentric account of elections; takes what he calls an 'investment approach,' arguing that party nominations and where candidates stand on the issues is determined by major financial interests. Sounds obvious, not doing it justice, but it has a great chapter on Fed policy and the '36 election, and some other great stuff.
We refer to Ferguson's data and analyses in Red State, Blue State, to address the question of how the very rich vote. (You don't get a large enough sample of them from national surveys.)
