That makes sense and explains why Iowa City ought not to be put in the same category as Marin Co., Princeton, or Cambridge.

so it's not actually about liberal college towns at all, it's that lots of wealthy communities happen to also have colleges.

Yes -- "has a college" is not the operative variable. Wealth is the operative variable.

right. And I'm not trying to be obtuse: your initial tweet is suggesting that Obama is the typical liberal insurgent?

and that typical liberal insurgents should be expected to win wealthy, white, liberal towns like Princeton?

So then this model wouldn't expect a liberal to win in Iowa City because it shouldn't be in the same category as Princeton? Or..?

Are you saying liberal insurgents should win liberal towns/cities, but that a voter's wealth can override her liberal politics?

Wealthy liberals in Princeton voting for Obama is consistent with their class interests; voting for Sanders is not.

right, I agree, so why do you expect a liberal insurgent to win Princeton?

Because an insurgent liberal program is consistent with the class interests of Princeton liberals, while socialism is not.
