Richer and better educated people tended to vote for the treaty, while working-class Irish mostly opposed it. A similar social division over attitudes to the E.U. is apparent in many European countries.

...McCain were to take a similar approach, he might pick a No. 2 who has strong national-security credentials or another maverick who defies party labels - perhaps someone like independent Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman. By this standard, Obama might opt for a partner who is young and charismatic and also breaks a historic barrier of race or gender - perhaps Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius - or one who transcends partisan politics, like Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska...
