Thats a misapplication of Syllogism Kelly, but oddly, I didn't expect better from you. Let me reiterate what you were trying to say, because it would only be a syllogism if his argument was: Charitable People Vote For Bush.
In short:
___
People in A donate Amount X. People in B donate Amount Y.
Since Amount X is greater than Amount Y. People in A are more charitable.
___
People in A voted for Bush.
People in B voted for Gore.
___
Chairtable people vote for Bush.

What Vince, or Boortz rather, did was compare the average monies spent on charitable causes in areas -again on average, this is important- in contrast with the average voting tendancy of the region. His findings are questionable, because he only takes into account one variable as Kevin has astutely noted, however though the argument may be wrong it is not logically flawed.
