We All Know Regular People Vote Republican
You've probably heard the story running through the punditocracy these days: working-class voters are voting Republican now, ever since those sum'bitch Democrats insist on mandatory gay marriage and abortion. Authentic, everyday folks, after all, have long gone Republican because the GOP is the only party that cares about the values of real people and winning the war on terror.
And like most conventional wisdom in politics, it's not true, or even close. MyDD has color maps of who each state voted for in the last election - first for voters making under $50,000, and then for voters making over $100,000. Turns out that rancher in Texas is a lot more popular with the white-tie crowd than we thought. Check out the link - and don't let anyone twist the facts on this again.
