An analysis done of the employers of contributors to the Obama and McCain campaign has a perhaps-not-surprise conclusion: that tech industry workers appear to overwhelmingly support Obama with their donations. Robin Harris has this story over at:

Workers at 9 of 10 tech companies they looked at supported Obama more than 80% of the time; only EMC was off of that, and EMC employees still went with Obama 56% of the time.

I did like Robin's conclusion:

Looking at the numbers, the surprising thing was how few people bothered to donate to either candidate. The 10 companies employ over 500,000 people; just over 3,000 contributed to either campaign. Wake up, people!

Right on!
