Wow! I am a minor minority. A right-leaning, libertarian-conservative, Republican academic.

Oops. I forgot to add that I am atheist as well.

And you're called "Kevin". Poor sod.

My guess is that you aren't that far from the mean amongst GNXP readers...
(I'm pretty much with you up until the GOP part.) (I'm an independent.)

well, politically we're almost a uniform distribution :-) which means way more right-wing than a typical science blog.

It says 6000 questionnaires were sent out and 1300 responses were received. 'nuff said.

I consider myself an independent for national politics but local and state politics I vote Republican.

Or should I say I am an independent that would never vote Democrat in a national election.

Kevin, my attempt to make light of your name comes across as a rude jeer. Apologies.
