Another Bush vote predictor -- the price of housing. Quotable:

Being conservative seems to increase Americans' desire for marriage and children. Conversely, being married and having children makes people more likely to be politically conservative, because they have more that's worth conserving. From the GOP's perspective, it's a virtuous circle. Which makes it all the odder that the Bush Administration wants to open the borders, which would reduce wages and drive up housing prices, punishing those voters who would like to get married and start families if they can afford it.
