Classical #1 for Dems and #2 for Repubs? I ain't buying it. Few metro areas support more than one classical radio station (which usually has pretty modest ratings). Classical music sales are pretty low, even for this age of file stealing, er..."sharing." What I suspect was really being measured there was which political affiliation was a bit more willing to bullshit a researcher to come off as sophisticated. Sadly, the pachyderms may have beaten us on that point.
