Science has shown there really is no such thing as race. But it apparently now shows that there are startling differences between the brains of Republicans and Democrats! No joke:

The researchers do not claim to have figured out either party's brain yet, since they have not finished this experiment. But they have already noticed intriguing patterns in how Democrats and Republicans look at candidates. They have tested 11 subjects and say they need to test twice that many to confirm the trend.

But isn't it more than a little creepy that political consultants are using magnetic resonance imaging to understand what political ads citizens will respond to? Ugh.
