Got money? Chances are, you voted for Romney... ...was the preferred candidate of the wealthiest voters. In Ohio and Tennessee, Romney won about 4 in 10 voters who reported a household income of more than $200,000. In Georgia, about a third of voters with a family income greater than $100,000 backed Romney.
They then went on to say that Ron Paul is a nonfactor. Agree or disagree about that, however, if im not mistaken, with paul being a nonfactor, and there only being 3 canidates without him, arent 4/10 and 1/3 about the amount you would expect when theres, ya know, 3 people that are competing? Even counting ron paul, getting 1/3 is only 8% more than an even split, albeit 4/10 is a decent 15% more than an even split, and yet, he came out on top in 6 states, aka statistically, he should have a higher % of the votes from all classes, which he probably does. Not endorsing romney, but I like pointing out obvious propaganda. Romneys rich, who really cares?

If we had no information to go on, 25% would be the expected value. Right now, we have election results. In Ohio, Romney got 38.0% of the vote, so 4/10 wealthy votes isn't different from the Republican voters as a whole. In Tennessee, Romney got 28.0%, so 4/10 wealthy voters is a better performance. In Georgia, Romney got 25.9%, so 33.3% of wealthy voters is a better performance.

I don't see how the article is propaganda. The writer may not be a sophisticated consumer of statistics, but I don't see any obvious attempt to present a knowingly distorted picture.
