Yeah, kind of odd how the best educated are 90% democrat. Especially since the republicans are the adherents to Free Market systems, a intellectual invention from the enlightenment!
I'm guessing that at least right now it's because the Reps are so conflated with religion and educated people have a much higher tendency to be athiest, I'm guessing because of Empiricism.
It might have something to do with the history of those states too. Don't know my US history well enough to make any conclusions, but I expect that this has some serious influences.
I won't be saying entirely atheist, but there's a far lower percentage of evangelists/ fundies/ fundamentalists among the higher educated classes. Mostly because of an often antireligious environement, but also because education indeeds learns reasoning, which prevents you from failing in the (false) logic traps that those types of religion rely on.
Yea, I doubt most of us voted Obama. Obama just isn't liberal enough. I've already heard other people mention they voted for Stein or Johnson.
The only reason I voted for Obama was that I live in Florida and the idea of Romney in the whitehouse is horrific.
Well, the far right parties in Belgium are probably more liberal than Obama.
On a side note, how comes the Republicans control the House of whatever it's called anyway.
Mostly's probably a misnomer, but you'd probably have at least some effects.
Also, can someone procure some demographic statistics and voting tendencies.
