I heard people talking about this in a store. I said do you really think that, say in TEXAS, that the counties along the rio grande valley (that is, blue counties) have a higher IQ than say the counties with, Houston, Austin and Dallas FT worth(that is , red counties). 'nuff said.
Take Massachusetts for example, bunch of real smart folks who voted for the highest tax rates in the U.S.,
and keep electing a fat drunken murderer as its senator.
Yup real brains there, those of a bird though. ;)
To these guys the fact that you vote for Bush is gross evidence of inbreeding, severe head trauma, and a public education. If you were an intelligent, well educated, mover and shaker you would have seen the obvious...That their way is the intelligent thinking mans choice.
Maybe this is not statistical but my family (half liberals) and my work environment (engineer for DoD) indicate that the more educated and harder working types tend more on the right side of the aisle. Almost all engineers I have known are conservative except the occasional minority or woman. I also think that more than 57% of veterans supprted Bush since I know very few vets not suporting Bush.
