Most of the audience was comprised of venture capitalists. You'd be surprised to know how many Democrats occupy the high risk, high return, low liquidity segment of the banking industry known as venture capital. And I noticed at least one card carrying Republican in the audience. I interpret his presence as an indicator of how strongly the need for change of regime is felt, even among stalwart Republican party members. "
