IT/Tech: software engineers for Obama (the Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc folks); service and support and sales likely for Romney

Just about any lower end of middle class income service occupation that probably has people a bit more educated (even if college dropouts or "taking a break") and younger than normal is going to be for Obama. My workplace was somewhere around 80-90% for Obama and broke into impromptu applause once the passage of the gay marriage bill in the State Senate was announced. Tongue Also call centers tend to employ a lot of minorities.

Well when you talk about "sales and support" I'm thinking of ground level people. And it's pretty clear that the Geek Squad and Apple Store employees aren't mostly voting Romney.

They'll be pretty Democratic, since they're working near (NOT at) minimum wage from what I've been told.

Erm no. More like near double minimum wage. Which is still not rich or enough to benefit from Republican economic policies of course, but certainly not near minimum wage.
