I think the fact that ALL TEN of the best-educated states are likely to vote Democratic this election, while nine of the bottom ten least educated states are solidly Republican, and the tenth is mixed but leaning Republican on the Presidential ticket issue, is a really interesting and telling fact.
The same goes for the point that upper-class people are more and more Democratic now, as this article makes clear -- people often voting against some of their own direct economic interests because they think it's right, or are upset about the inequality in our society. Republicans are the party of business, but they are losing the support of many people in that class? That says something...
And yet Republicans still run on a basic platform of "Government is the enemy", while simultaneously building up government to new record levels. It's a bizarre and, as the Bush administration has shown, failed, policy.
