We touched on this the other day on the Morning News.  Our approach was that we believed our political opponents ideas stink.  Turns out they sorta do. A new study claims you really can tell the difference in odor between republicans and democrats and chances are you will be more attracted to ideological peer.

Researchers had 146 people indicate their political beliefs, and then rate the attractiveness of sweat samples. It was found that people consistently rated the sweat samples of people with similar political beliefs as smelling more attractive.

Study leader Dr. Rose McDermott explains the findings, saying, "Political compatibility may serve as a modern representation of a host of mechanisms and values that directly affect physiological and sexual compatibility, as well as child-rearing strategies." (Daily Mail)
