Rationally Speaking #147 - Andrew Gelman on "Why do Americans vote the way they do?" - a podcast by New York City Skeptics

There are two contradictory stories about politics and class: On the one hand, that the Republicans are the party of the fat cat businessmen and the Democrats are the party of the people. And on the other hand, that the Republicans are the party of the salt-of-the-earth Joe Sixpacks, while the Democrats are latte-sipping elites.

He and Julia also cover the question, "Is it rational to vote?"
