I wouldn't say they are that Democratic. There have been many stories of pornstars being racist, uneducated, etc. I'm sure many pornstars believed that Obama was a Muslim, baby-killer, etc.

I'd say it would be closer to 75\25 Obama

My comments are too controversial to post here in regards to the voting groups being talked about.

Haha my point is that it is very elitist to divide ppl up into groups and look at how they vote. It's like Obama divides us up into groups to be managed by the ruling class.

my point is that it is highly elitist to divide ppl into groups that you think they "belong" to and study them as if they are an object. Obama loved doing that before running for president and still does.

LOL I have no idea about this one, but what makes you think they are so Republican? Remember that alcoholics include many minority groups such as African Americans, and especially Native Americans.


Yes, but numerically, there are much more whites who drink alcohol than minorities. Maybe my numbers were a little overinflated by there are a lot of Southern and Western whites who drink a lot. Maybe a better number would be 67-33% McCain.

So white automatically equals Republican?
You do realize that there are a lot of white cutural drinkers in places like South Boston and Butte who are extremely Democratic in their voting nature?

Southern Whites drink much more than other whites, and they are overwhelmingly Republican. Also, I'm not sure I would classify cultural drinkers (or at least many of them) as alcholics, sicne many of them just drink  occasionally, not on an everyday basis.

Remember how I explained my learning experience from a DUI and said that Bush should've done the same thing in 2000. It's not how much you drink or how often. It's how you drink. Alcoholics have tendencies to drink by themselves, drink because they're bored, drink to escape depression, take their minds off of things, and gain confidence. They actually become dependent on alcohol. A guy from the south who drinks with his friends every night after work is nothing more than a stereotype and I find it grossly offensive. You might as well throw out other stereotypes about blacks, Jews, and gays. Drinking is part of the southern and western culture in the same way that it's part of Irish and Italian cultures and I'm sure the majority of the latter 2 didn't vote for McCain. Overall maybe alcoholics did vote for McCain. I know I did. What does that matter and where are you getting at?

Me thinks Rochambeau is engaging in extreme wishful thinking.
I especially agree with the bolded parts.

The moron who is suggesting that alcoholics voted over 65% for McCain thus implying that Republicans have the wife beating hibbejebby alcoholics on their team thus making them evil and rich hating Democrats are obviously good.

SOmething happened with the quote system and junked up who said what, so it's probably confusing to tell who's who or what not.

Lets do ethnic groups. I'll start with European ones.

Irish: 55 Obama
English: 52 McCain
German: 57 McCain
Polish: 51 McCain
Italian: 51 Obama
Scottish: 55 McCain
French: 54 Obama
Greek: 52 Obama
Russian: 54 McCain

Polish: 51 McCain
Italian: 51 Obama
Scottish: 55 McCain
French: 54 Obama

Russian: 54 McCain


People of Scottish ancestry must have been at least 65% Obama, possibly over 70%. The most Democratic European group save Jews, easily.

English is tough because it's basically ultra-Republican Mormons and ultra-Democratic New England liberals. (Scots have the same problem but are overall a much smaller percentage Mormon and a much larger percentage Northeastern liberals.)

Other groups are clearly wrong, too. French is tough because they have the strongly Democratic vote in New England and the historically Democratic but increasingly strongly Republican vote in Louisiana, so the number might be right or it might be way, way off. Greek is definitely much more Democratic, probably around 60%. Obama definitely won Poles, too. Both are very urban-concentrated.

Other large, important European groups you missed are Scots-Irish (~65% McCain), Portuguese (~55% Obama) and Scandinavians (~57% Obama). And Dutch, but they again have the same problem as the English: Two groups (Northeastern liberals and Midwestern/Plains Dutch Reform ultra-conservatives) with polar opposite political views. But I would guess that the ultraconservative Dutch outvote the eastern liberals and that the group as a whole was around 60% McCain.
