So like it or not, closing a quarter of Chrysler car dealerships was gonna unemploy a huge heaping pile of Republicans no matter where the pink slips got sent.<br /><br />There's no conspiracy here.

Hello, we;ve had the rhetoric stomped into us fo ryears that entrepeneurs and "small" businesspersons are more often Republican.
