In 2014, the GOP won the Asian vote 51-49.

Don't feel dirty, especially if you have an Irish or English surname. Many of those surnames were passed on to black slaves.We all know that blacks today align overwhelmingly with Democrats.

I was more shocked to learn that there are only 579 people in the USA with my last name.

My family name: Republican.

No wonder I get so many phone calls from others of the same name asking to borrow money ("to be paid back when America is great again!").

For those of you with 'unique' names, I see where "Obama" is also unique.

Imagine how you would feel if you came down with 57 Democrat and 43 republican.

Makes me feel like rolling around the barn yard naked to get clean.

52 to 48 Republican, though it varies by state. This is my husband's last name, not my maiden name. In his home state of Nebraska, where there are a lot of them, it's 51 to 49 D. 60% of us vote, higher than average. My maiden name is 50/50, including in my home state of PA. 51% vote, still higher than average.

Cool link.
