Women vote for Kerry, men vote for Bush slightly more.

8% of voters are latino and 11% are black? That doesn't reflect the actual population, since there are more hispanic people than blacks.

The 18-29 demographic is the only one that would have elected Kerry.

36% of poor people vote for Bush and 63% vote for Kerry. These numbers form a smooth continuum until 63% of rich people vote for Bush and 35% of rich people vote for Kerry. These figures are exactly identical for church attendance on a scale from more than weekly to never!

Protestants and Catholics voted for Bush; Jewish, Other, and No Religion voted for Kerry.

People with NO HIGH SCHOOL and people who went to GRAD SCHOOL voted for Kerry! Everyone else voted for Bush. Weird.

6% of Republicans voted Democrat, but 11% of Democrats voted Republican. What the hell?

The military voted for Bush.

63% of America is married (they vote for Bush,) whereas 37% is single (voted for Kerry.) That means that one third married the other third and the third third is single.

60% of cities were Kerry, 60% of rural were Bush.

The most important national issue (22%) is moral values. Yes, we are still a Puritan country. Guess who those people voted for?

Only 4% of people think the economy is excellent, compared to 17% who think it's poor.

80% of families whose economic situation got worse, voted for Kerry. That looks good for us in 2008.

Days till we can elect a real president: 1459
