CNN exit polls - data by age, race, income, religion, etc.

Here we learn:

• Boys Like Bush
• Nader likers are Latino or Other, age 30 to 44, with lots of money and a college degree, going to church either never or many times a week but nothing in between, owning children and guns and fine health care in a small town, and voting mostly on moral values. They also think things are going well in Iraq for some reason, but don't think it has anything to do with terrorism.
• People of drafting age are less likely to vote for Bush.
• 65% of people vote based on money. The less they have, the more they vote for Kerry. The more they have, the more they vote for Bush. 35% of people buck the trend.
• 65% of people vote based on religion. The less they have, the more they vote for Kerry. The more they have, the more they vote for Bush. 35% of people buck the trend.
• 18% of voters have served in the military? I guess wars and drafts will do that...
• 4% of voters are lesbian / gay / bi, and a quarter of them vote for Bush.
• Bush voters care about terrorism, moral values, and taxes. Kerry voters care about the economy, health care, Iraq, and education.
• 2% of those who strongly disapprove of how Bush is handling his job voted for him anyway.
• Blah blah blah.

I saw a light in the sky, which pulsed swiftly and erratically in waves, similar to this pic but not so clear. I wish I could see the other more spectacular views that others saw, but the pulsing was pretty cool - seeing in real time the results of dynamic activity on the sun, which usually feels like a featureless thing that moves without variation.

Possibly more tonight.
