I don't know. BTW, I'd be "James Devine III" except that my father's and my grandfather's middle names are difterent. I think maybe the numbers at the end may be a Protestant thing, while my background is Catholic. The _real_ GOPsters are White Anglo-Saxon Protestant males -- or pretend to be.
(Strangely, my older brother should have been named "James" but wasn't.)
I've just been listening to John Bellinger III trying not to answer questions on "water boarding", which made me think:
What is the probability (percentage) of people who USE "II" and "III" behind their names (emphasis on "use" – not those who happen to be, but prefer to ignore) being Republican?
What are the odds of links to the "South"? Catholic/ Protestant split?
