Not particularly hippie, I don't think, but because the News and Politics forum skews Democratic if you count up posters and apparent affiliation and because, I think, the rest of the sight is pretty young. We could also throw in that some of the consistently most active forums are the NPHC groups' and I suspect that most NPHC members will vote Obama.

I suspect that the general alumni members of NPC and IFC groups may be a more representative political breakdown of the general population (which is not to say that it's necessarily an even match or that Obama wouldn't be ahead), but I don't think GreekChat matches the general population of greek alums or of the population at large. For example, I may be the only AGD poster who supports McCain on the site, but I doubt I'm the only one in real life or that the ratio is what it seems to be here.
