IT Workers Split For McCain, Obama

antipeon alerts us to a presidential preference survey, done in late February and early March, indicating that Obama and McCain lead among IT workers with 29% each. Clinton follows with 13%, just ahead of Huckabee (11%) and Ron Paul (9%). The Computing Technology Industry Association commissioned the poll, and the article notes that this trade group claims the population of IT workers is four times as large as the Bureau of Labor Statistics thinks it is — the better to make a voting block whose views must be attended to.

    Personally I dont think a lawyer OR a veteran should be the head of the most powerful nation on earth.

    News flash, Skippy - neither one is running for the leadership of China.

    Speaking of China, Confucious say: "In America, dog eat dog. In China, MAN eat dog."

    If you're looking for a reason to boycott the 2008 olymics, this is as good as any. If you don't boycott it, don't order a "hot dog."

    Why doesn't slashdot post the religious breakdowns of IT workers while we are at it, kdawson?

    If someone did such a survey, I think it would be Slashdot-worthy-- that would be very interesting information to have, even if it doesn't involve code or solder.

    Sucks to have to deal with the fact that everything I said was true huh? Way easier to hide in the shadows and mod me down for saying something you don't like.
