February 6, 2008, Del Mar, CA: Dr. David Gruder, nonpartisan "integrity analyst" and seasoned psychologist and author/founder of IntegrityPledge.org, sees a significant voting trend in yesterday's election: "I believe the 'integrity factor' is the common denominator between Obama and Huckabee and explains why both continued to gather momentum instead of fizzling out. In contrast to these two, Romney appears to not have this same degree of perception of integrity, and it's noteworthy that he did only slightly better nationwide than Huckabee, despite having a gigantic war chest compared to Huckabee's shoestring budget. McCain's strong showing would suggest the appeal of this same 'integrity factor.'" News Contact: (Ms.) Sam Jernigan, sam@marketingandpr.com Phone: +1-530-362-1339 (PST) (2/6/08)
