Which bodes well, given Obama's popularity (at least outside of Right wingers who would never vote Democrat).
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

We're basically only trading out one of the best orators we've had for someone who knows the halls of power intimately. In two years we might find ourselves thinking of her as the 'get shit done' president.

What? Technically, Shane Kimbrough is currently extra-terrestrial. ;)

Disclaimer: I have no idea who Shane Kimbrough actually voted for.

College Educated male, statistically, likely to have voted (D).


On the other hand, a lot of astronauts are military/ex-military, which might lean more Right wing.

So undeserving of a Nobel peace prize, likely to start shit in the Middle East, arming "moderate" rebels who are a proven front for ISIS so that ISIS gets advanced American weaponry. Yeah, there's no way that could possibly go wrong.

You'd be surprised at how many in the military are actually (D) leaning.

Republicans treat the military MEMBERS like shit, and anyone who isn't...how to put this politically correctly...an 11 Bravo is more likely to have a higher than average education.

Also, the military is disproportionately non-white, with all the caveats that carries.
