iPhone users and the Tea Party

Study finds many iPhone users are Tea Party supporters.

One might make the argument that Tea Party ideology appeals to the significant number of self-styled Libertarians in the tech sector. This could be the case. The fact remains that the Tea Party, as serious journalists don't tire of pointing out, has little in common with the small-government ethos of Ayn Rand or Milton Friedman, tracing its roots more directly to the clinically paranoid Christian Patriot and militia movements of the 1990s.

On Sunday, I wandered over to the Petaluma Mac Expo (missed Dori & Tom because they were presenting at a session and I didn't hang out that long), and the demographics of the attendees did make me wonder if nowadays you got an iPhone with your AARP membership.
