The researchers, led by Brown University political scientist Rose McDermott, found that conservatives and liberals smell dissimilar. While the difference is small, it is apparently significant enough that we subconsciously prefer the scent of those who vote like we do.

I've seen a couple studies similar to this one that indicate that our sense of smell is actually a much bigger factor in our day to day lives then we consciously acknowledge.

Much better than people that vote for either this or that and call it freedom.

Hmmm. Interesting. I'd like to see what criteria they used to identify and separate the two groups.

There are conservative liberals and liberal conservatives. I wonder if their smell sends mixed signals.

What are apathetic voters? Those who don't think that voting for that lot in preference to the other lot would make the slightest difference? Perhaps the word "realistic" might be more appropriate than "apathetic".
