First few minutes of the interview says it all.
Video below:
The rest of the clip, Cook describes how the economy isn't the be all end all for Democrats and speaks about the controversial Obama agenda and how people prefer some sort of balance and with Democratically controlled White House, Senate and House, there is no balance.
