Kerry, like every Democrat in every election since WWII, also won the vote of those with less than a high school education.  So, enough of the post graduate went for Kerry stuff.  So what.

Exit polls actually showed that the percentages of people with pretty much every level of education who voted for either Bush or Kerry were within the margin of error, except for those with postgraduate degrees, who went to Kerry 55-45%.

The most intelligent people generally end up with the most money. And yes, they went overwhelmingly for Bush.

I don't think that Albert Einstein was overwhelmingly rich when he died, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to argue that he wasn't extremely intelligent.

There are many different types of intelligence.  The type that enables you to make large sums of money in life is just one of them.

The two of you are doing a wonderful job making the case that neither of you would be allowed to vot ein this scenario.

Yes, I quite like that quote: "Never argue with the village idiot, for passers-by may not be able to tell which is which."

Speaking of making the case for not being able to vote in this scenario...

I'm the English teacher around here, I'll call people out on their spelling, thank you very much.

I do believe that this is a COMMA SPLICE!!

YOU GET AN F!
