DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- On election night, young men who voted for Republican John McCain or Libertarian Robert Barr had a sharp drop in testosterone, U.S. researchers found.

Duke University neuroscientist Kevin LaBar and colleagues at the University of Michigan said that in contrast, men who voted for the winner, Democrat Barack Obama, had stable testosterone levels immediately after the outcome.

Female study participants showed no significant change in their testosterone levels before and after the returns came in, LaBar said. Young men who participated in the study would normally show a slight night-time drop in testosterone levels, but on election night, they showed a dramatic divergence -- the Obama voters' levels didn't fall as they should, and the McCain and Barr voters lost more than would have been expected, the study said.

They must feel the need to rehab Barry’s manliness.

Lets boil it down.

Men who voted for Obama = no testosterone change.
Women who voted for anybody = no testosterone change.
Men who voted for McCain = testosterone change.

Therefore, Men who voted for Obama = women.

That’s funny, once the cowardly metrosexual was elected, mine spiked off the scale.

With an anti-American pacifist as Commander in Chief, the masculinity vacuum has to be filled elsewhere.

What's funny about this study is not what happened to the losers, with whom prior studies have shown about a 20% decrease in testosterone in rabid sports fans when their teams lost a game. No, what is funny is what happened to the Obama voters.

The same study on rabid fans losing testosterone when their team lost also showed that those supporting the winning team has a testosterone gain of about 20%.

What this study shows is that male 0bama supporters are ABNORMAL and have an INABILITY TO HAVE THEIR TESTOSTERONE AFFECTED by 0bama

Must all be gay or something.

Whatever. If anything with all the gun sales our nations top gun salesman (Obama) has made, I would think that testosterone would be soaring.

This is laughable but very, very dangerous. First, a “doctor” on the SRM had a “study” that questioned the sanity of talk radio listeners and now this. Commies in the USSR and other countries would declare all opposition to their policies as clinically insane and in need of re education.

We are going to see very dangerous times, folks. Financially, economically, socially, and morally

“...the Obama voters’ levels didn't fall as they should,...,” proving my theorem once again: Young adult men have more hormones than brains. ;-)

Thankfully this is a private university so they can waste their money on stupid studies as they choose.
