A center-lefty technocrat type who doesn't understand how human beings actually function. A reference to the ID lanyards for conventions and campaigns such types tend to collect as they throw their energy into the campaigns and staffs of people who don't care about them.

A definition of conservatism from a blog response by Frank Wilhoit: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

A small constituency of upper middle class and piddling rich folks, often with advanced degrees, who tend to be moderately liberal on social issues and moderately conservative on fiscal issues. They all long for a “technocratic” leader who will listen to the experts (the middle way folks!) to enact sensible policies (supported by the middle way who benefit directly from them).
A reference to Teabaggers, since they are equally deluded.
