See post 42 on problems with the probabilities cited. Also, see this information from 538.com
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/05/news-flash-car-dealers-are-republicans.html

Overall, 88 percent of the contributions from car dealers went to Republican candidates and just 12 percent to Democratic candidates. By comparison, the list of dealers on Doug Ross’s list gave 92 percent of their money to Republicans

I read the 538 item also, but fail to see the relevance.
IF 90% are republican donors, AND republican donors own 90% of the dealerships, THEN I would expect to see the 90% closing of republican dealers.
Is that the case?
I have yet to see what percentage of republican donor dealers were closed vs. democrat donor dealers closed, or even what percentage of the dealers are donors.
I think a lot more information is needed.
Any idea where (or if) it's available?
