What Democrats, Republicans agree about on Facebook
For more Last Look, watch GPS, Sundays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN
Despite the ugly discord of the recent midterm campaigning, it's heartening to hear that Democrats and Republicans share some surprising common ground, according to some new analytics from Facebook.
Facebook looked at everyone who “Liked” campaign pages of Democrats and Republicans running for governor, the Senate, or the House – and examined their other page "Likes."
Take a look at the graphics in the video. The more an artist or author or place is disproportionately "Liked" by supporters of one side or the other, the farther it appears to the left or right.
Republicans' taste in music skewed, not surprisingly, toward country artists, while Democrats (also not surprisingly) love the Beatles and Bob Marley. Members of both parties like Taylor Swift (as does my 6-year old daughter who as far as I know has no party affiliation). But I'm scratching my head over this one: the Empire State Building was disproportionately liked more by Democrats.
The destination both Dems and Republicans could agree on was the Jersey Shore – perhaps it was all that Christie-Obama bonding on the boardwalk after Hurricane Sandy…

I know right? Lol totally baffling everytime i watch it.

Why did they trashcan This Just In. Anyone?
The same reason they got rid of Political Ticker and Belief Blog.
I asked why. Not for clues as to why. What was the reason?
Yes, I know the reason why, but since you cannot carry on a conversation without being rude, I've decided not to share it with you.
I will give you a clue, though: you're not the reason.
Am sure both donkeys and elephants like Beyoncé. She knocked down 120 million dollars last year. Brittany Spears made 20 mil by comparison. Katie Perry fitty mil. George Jone's estate made about 82 bucks off of old vinyl sales I reckon.
Why republicans like Country&Western music.
I'm not sure how much money Willie Nelson lost last year. He forgets where he buried his coffee cans.
*George Jones' estate, rather. I think. he he
Lol and the same reason this one will be gone soon as well.
What reason?
Because of the troll @ Philip! The very things we discussed last night.
Cnn has not found a way to be rid of that moron. And he has hacked several email accounts of bloggers here also. Just a word of warning to you! My email account was comprimised by this "turd in a punch bowl" so ive had to change it!
Lololol @ Philip i just read your post on the previous thread. Thanks. Does that mean im not grounded anymore? Lol
Ok going back into the hospital and have to shut off my phone. Talk to you during my next smoke break.
What are you in the hospital for? And, really? How did a troll hack into your email?
Does the group "Anonymous" mean anything to you?
Group of anonymous surgeons wearing masks? Or that Blab it to everyone "anonymous alcoholicism" group that meets regularly out of hospitals where pill.poppers gather?
No.
Smoke break again. And its not I thats in the hopital its my daughter and shes still undergoing her treatment so im just waiting and thought i may as well wait outside. And he isnt your typical troll @ Philip. And im not sure exactly how he did it but i have my sus pic ions and of course the person inves ti gating isnt giving me alot of info either!
One of my sus picions has to do with CNN being hacked about a year ago. Do you remember that?
Lmao @ Philip...a hacker group calling themselves anonymous!
Dang. Fareed only has like 12 people following him. Sheesh.
