Study: Men who voted for McCain saw testosterone levels drop significantly

No joke. Losing the election caused their testosterone levels to recede.

Obama voters' levels stayed the same.

1. Republicon Homelanders can't get it up?

Quelle surprise!

But they can always pretend to be tough, like their Pantheon of True Republicon Chickenhawk heroes: Commander AWOL Bush, Five Deferments Cheney, Rush 'Anal-Pimple Draft Dodger' Limbaugh, Bill 'Wimpout' O'Reilly, and Glenn 'Guccil-loafer Deferment' Beck.

3. I can see this in any contest ... not just the knee-jerk "McCain voters lost their balls" concept ..
I can see how losing (badly) can affect your inner chemistry ...

or are we being punk'd?

4. Well, that explains all the teabagging.
Their twigs shriveled up on election night, but it looks like they have plenty of nuts.

5. I find it interesting that defeat is what prompts the reaction
And that there is no difference for success. We are more motivated to not lose than to win.

Of course, this is just one chemical in one instance.

10. Check out the byline on the article
'Buck Wolf, Senior Correspondent, AOL News'

Sounds like a guy with testosterone on the brain, or maybe he's trying to compensate with a manly man's name.
