SO HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE EMMY AUDIENCE WERE WILLING TO ADMIT THEY’RE VOTING FOR ROMNEY?

Hollywood is notoriously left-leaning in its political views, but a surprising number of people at the 2012 Emmy Awards Sunday gave a loud cheer when host Jimmy Kimmel asked who would be voting for the Republican nominee.

Relating the presidential race to the hit show “Downton Abbey,” a period drama about an aristocratic family in the early 20th century, Kimmel remarked:

I will admit that Downton Abbey is an amazing show– there is so much meticulous attention to detail. It’s not the kind of show I typically watch, but it really gives you a sense of what it must have been like to grow up in Mitt Romney’s house.
Kimmel then asked the crowd: “Are any of you voting for Mitt Romney?”

After an unexpectedly loud cheer, Jimmy Kimmel continued: “Alright there’s 40 Republicans, and the rest [are] godless, liberal homosexuals.”

It’s very possible the comedian prepared his remarks in advance, and expected a much more meager response.

Back in May, comedian Jon Lovitz theorized that Hollywood Democrats can only handle so much class warfare and vilification of “millionaires and billionaires” before they abandon the party. In his estimation, which he graphed out in the “Lovitz Curve,” rhetoric that falls somewhere in between that of Ronald Reagan and Vladimir Lenin generates the most revenue and support from Hollywood. As the rhetoric swings increasingly to one side, support diminishes.
