Thumbs up Are Democrats More Educated Than Republicans?

Are Democrats More Educated Than Republicans? | Edu in Review Blog

So who’s smarter, Democrats or Republicans?

That’s quite the controversial question, of course. According to a blogger at Watchblog.com, though, it seems that Democrats are more educated than Republicans. Or hey, let me rephrase that. People in the “blue states” (states that typically vote Democratic) are collectively more educated than people in the “red states” (states that typically vote Republican).

According to Watchblog.com:

* States that voted for Kerry in 2004 had 21 percent more college graduates than states that voted for Bush.
* The states that ranked the lowest for high school and college graduates were all red states.
* Eight out of 10 of the states that ranked the highest for high school college graduates were blue states. (The number one state, by far, is Colorado — technically a red state because it went for Bush by a small margin, but effectively a “purple” state because it’s become so politically mixed.)

Is this a bunch of hooey, or is there something to this? What do you think?

You can also see the educational background and alma maters of the Republican candidates, John McCain and Sarah Palin, and Democratic candidates, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, to see how they compare.

THEREFORE, SINCE MORE DEMOCRATS VIEW CNN AND MORE REPUBLICANS WATCH FOX, ONE CAN ALSO CONCLUDE THAT CNN VIEWERS ARE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN FOXNEWS VIEWERS!

CNN’s viewers are more likely to be Democrats (42%) or Independents (29%) than Republicans (19%), whereas FOX News viewers are more likely to be Republicans (63%) as compared to Democrats (12%) or Independents (20%).

There is a HUGE divide between Intelligent and Educated.

Your premise is false.

Garbage in, Garbage out.

What is smarter a turd or a shit?

The differences between the Republican Party and Democrat Party is that.

I don't think this would have been true 10 years ago, but over the last few years, especially the last two, the intelligensia has been leaving the Republican Tea Bag Birther Express for parts elsewhere.....

The perfect example of circular logic.

Begging the question - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Which would lend further credence to the assertion that a higher percentage of educated people are necessarily more arrogant.

I have always defended your right to be ignorant.

Show me when I haven't?

Now stupid, that's an entirely different question.
