Let's start on the easy stuff. The only two educational
groups that are consistantly Democratic are the people with
no High School education and the Post Graduates. High School
Dropouts and College Professors.
The College Educated have consistantly supported the
Republicans by a large margin.


I'm not sure where you got this statistic, or its relevancy.
If it IS true, then it says that the more educated you are
(dismissing the HS dropouts, who we can agree are 'uneducated',
yes?), the more likely you were to register Democrat, not
necessarily to vote Democrat. Do you have any stats about
the correlation between education level and how people voted?
I looked, but kept getting that "IQ" red herring. Anyway,
looking at the urban distribution of how people voted this
last time (overwhelmingly, the urban areas were proKerry)
I'd think that the tilt of the college educated (BA and
MA) vote this time went to Kerry. Let me know if you have
a source. I'll be absolutely stunned if the majority of
people with college diplomas voted for Bush.

Scroll down to where it says voting and education.
Interesting, isn't it? People with higher education voted for Kerry.
