Interesting is that one of the most conservative states, South Carolina, has a high rate....while one of the more liberal states (North Dakota) is next to lowest.

Could it be that South Carolina has one of the most Economic Anti-American Senators, Lindsey Graham (pro-illegal, pro-Globalist)......and that North Dakota has one of the more pro-American Senators, Byron Dorgan (anti-illegal, pro-American economics)?

Actually, it has more to do with demographics/culture (saying anymore on that would get me banned), to say nothing of the fact that most NDers are employed in Ag or Energy. ND is subject to the same whims of the global economy as SC.

Should be mentioned that Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Iowa are always at the top of the list in terms of educational tests and have the lowest rates of divorce, FWIW.
