LINK: Joe Carter's appreciation of Ronald Reagan makes me wonder two things:

1. Is there a selection bias in the blogosphere toward people who've moved away from the party affiliation of their parents (rather like how libertarians seem to be overrepresented)?

2. Is part of the reason for that selection bias because people who switch party affiliations are fighting a rather pronounced demographic trend (just about everyone votes like their parents did), which may correlate to an increased interest in and knowledge of political parties, which seems to be a strong indicator of those who blog frequently?
