I am a regular reader of the online magazine Slate. It’s fairly clear to me that it tends to be politically liberal.  So it’s no surprise at all that of all the Slate staff who decided to reveal their intended vote in the upcoming presidential election, 96% will vote for Barack Obama and only 1 out of 57 intends to vote for John McCain.

Its editor partly rationalizes this as a demographic byproduct, but if that’s so then the lack of ideological diversity could be fairly easily remedied by hiring people from cities that aren’t “extremely Democratic” and “young.”
