I know what the perception is, but as I live in Los Angeles, this and most the state are quite left leaning... I'm surrounded by hard working people in the entertainment field that just so happen to support Obama, which I'm sure comes to no shock. These folks are not unemployed (yet...there is a potential actors strike looming) nor are students. Say what you want about the actors that make mega-millions...but the folks behind the scenes toil away for hours and hours and many don't make that much money. Yet, they do work their tails off as any other worker in any other field would.
So, I know there appears to be joke that people voting for Obama don't work...in fact, people from ALL parties including Dem's, Rep's, Lib's, Green's and even Peace & Freedom work. At least those who haven't lost their jobs due to this economy that the big 2 parties brought on us all... Both are to blame...
