That's fine, John. What'swrong though with a breakdown irt political affiliation? Would that not be one factor in why people vote as they do? No different that racial prejudice, monetary worth, religious outlook, etc.


I've voted for both parties pretty equally in my life, what does that say about me?  Never drawn welfare, make a very good living, have no revolving debt, retirement money secure all our own savings, buy our own health insurance and put 4 kids through college, with the only aid being scholarship money. I don't vote based on religion, or racial prejudices or because of my monetary worth. I vote based on who I think has more character, more vision for the future and the gonads to do the job. If I factored in everything you noted I would have to vote for 6 different candidates for the same job to satisfy some criteria drummed up by a pundit.
