The Washington Times has this nugget:

Blue-staters on each coast, from Los Angeles to Seattle and from Boston to the District, are the most likely to drive foreign cars. Domestic brands have their highest levels of market share in the mostly conservative interior of the country.

In some blue states – where a Democrat has won at least three of the last four presidential contests – foreign cars have as much as 60 percent of the market, as measured by vehicle registrations. It is mostly in red states – Republican strongholds – where domestic cars have 74 percent of the market or more.

This pattern holds in 36 states and the District.

The three politically purple states – those that have evenly split the last four elections – strongly prefer domestic cars.

The assortment of beaters parked each day in the JLF parking lot, therefore, can only mean one thing — our staffers prefer fiscally conservative, cheapskate politcos.
