You must know that education and intelligence are not parallel and equal. Also the amount of education often dictates the types of work people do, and the party they favor.

Who gets to judge the best and worst educated people? What does best educated mean? Liberal education system that rewards people for holding liberal beliefs? Kind of circular reasoning that isn't easily understood by those brainwashed by it.

Did you go to the link? The basis for the best and worst educated ranking was the percentage of residents who had a bachelor's degree or more.

It is true the more educated a person, the more likely they are to be Democrat.

Also, the ranking in this thread did not deal directly with IQ. However, there have been ample studies that show a correlation between social conservatism and low IQ. If you want an anecdotal example, just look at WND.

Not sure if I should give this a thumbs up because it made me laugh out loud, or a thumbs down because it's so ridiculous...

I guess that just goes to show how little you know about how subjective grades are in this country. The teacher gets to decide the right answer and the teacher gets to decide the grade. There is a greater amount of this kind of stuff in different areas, but there is enough of it to make a huge difference.
