The Trumpers Are Coming FROM INSIDE THE BLOG!

The Washington Post has a nifty tool for evaluating how Republican or Democratic (in terms of voter registration, not necessarily voting behavior) your first and last names are. Not all names are available, but…

• Farley: GOP +5
• Loomis: GOP +15
• Campos: Dem +49
• Watkins: Dem +16
• Nelson: Even

While the partisan tilt of “Farley” is unfortunate, let me assure you that it is almost certainly weighted by a significant number of Irish Farleys, who are not related to Farleys of true English stock and who therefore should not count. Basically an entirely different species, if you ask me. The lean of Loomis, on the other hand, is hardly surprising.

Here’s the first names:

• Cheryl: GOP +2
• Elizabeth: Dem +18
• Abigail: Dem +21
• Robert: GOP +17 (Rob and Bob are both GOP +21)
• Paul: GOP +12
• Scott: GOP +29
• Erik: Dem +7
• Daniel: GOP +7 (Daniel is GOP +19)
• David: GOP +13 (Dave is Dem +2)
