Voting Patterns of Liberals and Conservatives

I have a hypothesis. I believe that liberals attempt to vote for those whom they aspire to be. For example, John Kerry is wealthy, good looking, yale educated, and otherwise knowledgable. President John Kennedy was the same way. Further, I believe they like candidates who don't believe in black and white, only shades of gray.

I believe that Conservatives vote in an opposite fashion. Conservatives like to elect someone like themselves: down to earth, talks like the people, etc. They like people like President GW Bush, because despite many of the same qualities of a man like John Kerry, he is more like what they could be. In other words, assuming that he drank, you could have a regular beer with the guy.

Just a thought.
