He used standard deviation on a Bell Curve. Chop data up 5 times and ~70% end up in the middle, with ~30% at each end.

What bell curve? How did he bucketize people into the 5 categories? Based on what?

I only ran through once, but what I understood was the party affiliation was used for the basis of the five categories. That makes the most sense to me from a statistical standpoint.

Great but how in the fuck does that translate to hardcore dem vs. moderate dem vs. jerkoff vs. whatever?

First ~15% are unreliable, next three ~70% are hereditary, moderates, and committed, last ~15% are your hard-core.

Each affiliation has all these types.
