ahem, this may be a bit drug induced as i have recently had a root canal, but i would like to offer another suggestion. is it possible that there is a correlation between the psychology of a person who actively participates in fandom and that of one who is a liberal? it has to be said that "fangirls" and "fanboys" are just rather nice terms for obsessives. yes, im guilty of it too and rather enjoy it, but its something that hasnt been mentioned. perhaps the same thing that triggers this obsession with a book, movie, etc., could also trigger a particular thinking pattern concerning politics. if there are psychology/sociology majors (grad students only please. there's really nothing more obnoxious than undergrad psychology majors sometimes...), i would really like to hear their opinion.
