JimH,
I hope our discussion was enjoyable, and yes it was a pretty stupid
discussion.

I am sitting hear reading this thread and laughing. There is no way to
break down an average IQ number for the group of people in any particular
state who voted for Bush or Kerry. To think you can, and to carry on a
debate about it is nothing short of comical.

That's not what the list is purported to represent. It represents the
average
IQ levels in each state.

I realize that. And that is what makes this whole thread funny. Average
IQ for the entire state....something suspect at best.

But let's assume for a minute that the figure, the average IQ for the
State, is accurate. Now lets take an example. Lets say the IQ's equally
ranged from a low of 75 to a high of 125, averaging out at 100. What
cannot be figured out is the average IQ of those voting for Kerry and
those voting for Bush. So in a State with an average IQ of 100, and with
that State going to Kerry, it is possible that the average IQ of those
Kerry voters is 87...or it could be 112.. But that is absolutely
impossible to determine at this point in time.


Yes, some very bright people undoubtedly voted for
George Bush, along with some dumb as dirt. Exactly the same thing can be
said
for Kerry voters.

The only thing that is interesting is that the list actually does
demonstrate a
general tendency for the majority of voters in the states purported to
have
higher average IQ's to favor Kerry.

No it absolutely does not. See my earlier comments.

And thus my laughing at this entire thread.

Sorry guys, but think for a minute what you are debating over.
