I am Kyle's self-indulgence

I promise that soon I'm going to quite participating in the endless post-election analysis, but I thought this was very interesting.

FiveThirtyEight.com compares how the Obama 2008 campaign did compared to the Kerry 2004 campaign among various demographics. In almost every area, Obama outscored Kerry, which is not surprising in itself.

What's interesting is that the largest difference was a 17-point gain among people earning over $200,000 per year. Kerry won 35% of their vote; Obama won 52%. Remember that these are the only people for whom Obama actually promised to raise taxes, and they as a group showed the greatest movement toward the Democratic candidate.

I really don't know what to make of it, but kudos to them.
