My guess here is:

Coal mining - Romney
Oil and Gas - Romney
Broadcast media (TV/Radio) - Tossup
Journalist Publications (Blogs, Newspapers) - Lean Obama
Higher education - Obama
Medical (Doctors, Nurses) - Lean Obama
Military - Romney
Logging - Romney
Commercial airlines - Romney
Religious clergy - Romney
Film - Obama
Professional sporting - Tossup 
Construction - Lean Romney
IT/Tech - Obama
Tourism - Obama
Fishing - Romney
Law - Tossup
Law Enforcement (Police, detectives) - Romney
EMTs - Lean Obama

I'm surprised people would think Journalists would be Tossups. I was expecting a lot of "Obama" guesses on that one.

Well when you talk about "sales and support" I'm thinking of ground level people. And it's pretty clear that the Geek Squad and Apple Store employees aren't mostly voting Romney.

They'll be pretty Democratic, since they're working near (NOT at) minimum wage from what I've been told.

NHL probably a toss-up (too many white guys)

The majority of them are Canadian citizens so they really couldn't vote.

Most industries and sectors vote Republican. There are a lot of Democrats who stay at home and don't have to work due to large incomes or they're on welfare and food stamps. Working leads to conservatism. I've worked in grocery, retail, sales, fast food, construction, and office buildings. I have yet to find a liberal base of employees at any job I've ever had.

That is a total lie.

We can debate it all day and because we have different ideologies, we won't ever agree and there's nothing wrong with that.

We'll never agree, that's true. But there's no doubt political views have nothing to do with your work ethic.
