interesting tidbit:  when you use the names "Jamal", "Tamika", "Laquita", or "Trayvon" the party identity is 80% or higher for the democratic partay.

I was surprised mine was not worse than it is.  Although I am rather attached to my name, it was popular with minorities for a while.  

There are 700,000+ registered voters with my name, making it within the top 60 most common names.

Less than 45% percent Republican.
Greater than 50% percent have a gun in the house.
Close to a third attend religious services weekly.
Greater than 50% have a college degree.  
Greater than 70% have a name more Republican than mine.

I suspect my name has many repeat registrants for the same person in every county in states such as mine that do not have voter ID to have scored in the top 60 of commonality.

Just heard this on "Red-Eye Radio"...

They entered "God" as the name:

Quote
There are 21 registered voters named God, making it the 132,326th most common name.

Silly crap.  I don't believe any of the results, regardless of the supposed polling data.  From what I've seen here and elsewhere, the stats are too close to the mean to be true.
