I thought this had an interesting title. Only ten states? Are they sure?

[Maverick68]

California should top the list and they should make an exception for D.C. to be included on the list at number two...

[Parmenio]

Many of the states on the list have had huge increases in illegals, such as Arizona, Iowa, Texas, Utah and Colorado.

[Lazamataz]

Went through them. This is liberal socialist scumbag BULLS**T.

Not one of the leftwing states is mentioned except Michigan.

ALL OF THE SUCCESSFUL STATES ARE MENTIONED, Texas was high on the list.

New York, California and so on were notably missing and they have some rock-stupid people if they stay in those socialist hellholes.

Though not a state, it appears DC ran out a long time ago.

10. Utah
9. Texas
8. Iowa

6. Arizona

3. Oklahoma
2. Michigan
1. Colorado

[and so?]

Surprising thing was that they didn't list any Southern states...we always take a beating when some folks do a US wide comparison.

As a Texas resident, I’d have to disagree. It’s not that we are running out of smart people, it’s that we are gaining stupid people at an alarming rate and they are beginning to outnumber the smart.

[Logic n' Reason]

Should there not also be a corresponding article to the effect that, "Some States Gaining Smart People!!"

And.....which ones are they??

[Joe the Pimpernel]

They are basing it on the increase in college grads.

This actually shows just the opposite... states with people dumb enough to bury themselves in student loans for degrees in "communications."

[vetvetdoug]

Its not that Mississippi is running out of smart people, its just that it doesn’t take much for one to qualify as a smart person here.

[Little Ray]

Hmmm. I bet there is a correlation to illegal alien population in some of the states, esp. the SW ones. In others, well, maybe there are fewer “white collar professionals” because we're in a depression?

[x]

Seems pretty dubious. Not the states you might expect, either.

We get told over and over again that immigrants are coming here to "do the jobs Americans won't do."

Who's to say that people from other states won't move west to do whatever jobs go unfilled in these states.

That's basically what happens in the US and what's been happening for a century. So it's more an opportunity than a problem.

[elteemike]

So Colorado made the list, huh?

The fact we’re being overrun by illegal aliens wouldn’t have anything to do with our numbers, would it?

Nah, didn’t think so...Couldn’t be...
