Political opinions aren't protected against private action. It should be noted that she wasn't fired for voting for JK, no matter what she says. She was let go for refusing to remove a bumper sticker from her car. It's his parking lot, his rules. But he's a jerk. Thanks, jerk. It’s jerky, but entirely legal.

Additionally, less extreme treatment happens all the time in the workplace. I work at a state agency where such behavior shouldn't be allowed, but it happens...to the few conservatives. Also, of course John Kerry offered her a job. It's obvious good press and he could use some right about now. I was going to make the same point as Robert.
