Why Are Conservatives Happier Than Liberals?

Dunno.

Tough to figure out from this column, but it seems as if much of it has to do with the fact that more conservatives are married, more are religious, and more have kids. Three strikes for me, happiness-wise...

Seems to be hard for people to resist trying to spin this in favor of their favored group. Since I doubt that happiness and virtue go together, there's nothing here that makes me want to spin anything.
