I posted yesterday some thoughts about voting as a libertarian in this year’s presidential campaign (feel free to keep commenting! I love hearing from readers and I’m interested to know your thoughts on this year’s “War for the White House”) and today I found a post at the Chicago Tribune blog that illuminates another kind of voting breakdown.

So, if you haven’t decided who to vote for yet, this study may help you decide. According to a CNN/Opinion Research poll, the “drinking votes” break down as follows (a surprise to no one): beer drinkers lean Republican, winos tip toward Democrat. (Apparently they don’t care about the votes of shot-takers, margarita sippers, martini lovers, and so on.)

Well, there you have it.
