“DOES IT SURPRISE ME THAT SMART PEOPLE SHOULD BE SUPPORTING KERRY? NO.”

The words of Princeton computer science professor Andrew Appel, in an article in the Daily Princetonian regarding the heavy pro-Kerry tilt in giving by Princeton faculty and employees. The sole donor to the Bush campaign isn’t even a professor, but an employee of the government relations office. Perhaps even more astounding, donations to “Other” (Nader, presumably) amounted to $12,850, outpacing both Bush (a paltry $250) and the RNC ($500) by a substantial margin.


Update:

Sorry, an alert Princeton student pointed out to me that I misread the chart–the “other” line refers to other Republican groups (such as 527’s), not other parties or candidates. So the comparison is solely between Kerry, the DNC, and other Democratic groups vs. Bush, the RNC, and other Republican groups–which remains heavily lopsided.
