I understand the "brainwashing" dynamic, but the correlation between education level and voting for Obama still mystifies me.

Kind of like the other chart discussion, I believe that oversimplifies things. For example, in the post grad voters, how many are working in practical fields versus are professional students or are in theoretical fields? The same with ‘high school only’. How many of those are just regular working Americans or those with trade degrees or apprenticeships versus those who are stereotyped as poorly educated? A very general chart like this, more often than not, can actually distort facts more than it reveals them. There are far too many variables within the three choices to say that it is due to a level of intelligence or a level of indoctrination.

..and let’s not even get into what percent may have lied to the pollster.

Perhaps they’ve been educated beyond their intelligence?

Hopefully, John, GGG’s attempt to hijack this thread and turn it into the same ole, same ole crevo thread will fail.

It is the least contentious I think I’ve ever read on FR, at least in recent memory. Folks are actually speaking without being shouted down with petty insults (something both sides are quite guilty of).

You are to be congratulated for that.

GGG, now you must write on the board 100 times, “I will not turn other’s crevo threads into free for alls like I like my own to be”.
