>>>Wow. 50+ white men and every last one of them a Republican? That is a lot of racist, mysognist, bible-thumping, zeno-phobic, science denying bigoted [sic] all in one spot at one time! I couldn't find two here if I tried! How do you know for sure?

>>While Bill might have been a bit hyperbolic by saying all Republicans, I suspect he's not far wrong. (I have to add, though, that poking around, I found an article which says that the plurality--around 48%--of registered voters are Independents, but that didn't break it down by sex and gender.)

>As of March 23, 2011, there were a total of 56,202 registered voters in Hamilton Township, of which 18,266 (32.5%) were registered as Democrats, 10,402 (18.5%) were registered as Republicans and 27,508 (48.9%) were registered as Unaffiliated. There were 26 voters registered to other parties.[89]

>So it appears that there are more registered Democrats than Republicans and Obama took the state. The most recent gubernatorial race ended with the republican on top, but clearly not for the presidency.

Yep. But Bill was talking about white men over 50; I have little doubt that they skew much more Republican than the overall population of Hamilton.
