Well worth visiting. Verdant Labs has mined the campaign contribution data from the FEC in order to establish the ratios of Democrats (blue) vs. Republicans (red) by profession. They then have paired those professions in amusing and sometimes illuminating ways.
A couple of surprises. Professional Poker Players, Carpenters and Engineers lean strongly Democrat? Not the carpenters and engineers I know (I don't know any professional gamblers but for some reason I don't envision them as left leaning.) There's a lot of stereotype confirmation in the data.
