Well – not really, but apparently, geeks support Paul.
“As campaign finance records show and the blogosphere has noted, a substantial base of support for Paul comes from professionals in the technology community.
“People in the technology industry tend to be more educated, and more intelligent,” said Jeffrey Schwartz, a Paul supporter who organized the fundraiser through Meetup. Schwartz is a psychiatrist and a long-time libertarian….”
says this Wired piece.
The explanation, it says, is that tech-oriented people tend to want detailed, rational explanations, not emotional sound-bytes. In other words, there is less of the “mob” in the minds of the technology and science crowd…
I’m not so sure it is tech oriented people…I could argue it is reading and writing oriented people who like Ron Paul.
Those who prefer their news through CNN, ABC and Fox tend to like the other guys.
Of course those who are married to the defense industry or the welfare state are also not likely to support Ron Paul and some of them do read, but they just read WSJ and the New York Times. The rest of the news is “not legitimate.”
“…high IQ correlated with Ron Paul voting…”
I think that is a safe assumption.
That sounds good and everything, but unfortunately the majority of people are not smart. I guess the good news is that smart people do make more money, so hopefully that will translate into big bucks for the campaign this quarter.
