I think the people voting for kerry with no high school at all is more telling to me.
I think these speak largely for themselves.

The last one is the one that stands out for me. The most educated people in America have a clear cut decision.
These are just exit poll numbers, but I do think the last item is very telling.
I think the people voting for kerry with no high school at all is more telling to me.
I think these numbers are a bunch of crap.
But I guess we'll just disagree.
Big deal. I'm smarter than you and I voted for Bush so that's all that matters.I think these speak largely for themselves.
Really telling, though, Manny? I've a degree & some post-grad work, and Kori has a graduate degree and we support Bush. Where do you fit in those numbers?
Hey Manny, maybe you can send Kerry a consolation trophy because upper academia thinks he's so great.
I call BS on your numbers.
Yes, well Tpark, Democrats always apeal to those who are going to benifit from entiltlement programs, so it's expected they're going to get the ultra dumb vote.
However, the PostGrad Study group doesn't regularly vote one way or another as far as I know.
Hey, if people want to discount this as simply exit poll BS, feel free. The exit polls have been wrong a lot tonight, but the margin in itself doesn't lend itself to belive that this is a huge error.
I think saying the the most educated section of america went with Kerry hands down, is not going out on a limb.
But, if the rest of America were as educated as that top 17 percent we woudln't have to choose between these 2 to begin with.
That's why they are crap. As proven for the last eight hours, exit polls don't mean anything.These are just exit poll numbers
Look at the electoral vote. Look at the popular vote. The majority of Americans -- fat, skinny, educated, uneducated, short, tall, black, white, hispanic, or whatever want Bush for four more years.
give me a link
What does this really have to do with anything? Are you implying that educated people somehow have better judgement when it comes to political matters?
I really don't know what you're trying to show. Please explain.
and so did 41% of people in that catagory SW.
I fit in the some college, FOR NOW.
Like I said AHF, call BS if you want, I don't expect the majority of people in here to lend any credence to the numbers. Just something I wanted to share.
It is no secret academia are ultra libs.
Brodels, Yes I feel educated peolple have better judgement on political matters.

Kori, yes they are exit polls and you can discount them because they failed earlier tonight. However, I think that you'll find that the times they failed earlier tonight was because the margins were within the margins of error. Now, if there's a 17% margin of error on the polls, this one is likely BS as well. I don't think so though.
This is not academia blackbucket, that group includes Doctors, lawyers, anyone who went to anytype of grad school.
If they're exit polls I do definitely callbull .
, the exit polls had Kerry winning Florida by 4, Virginia by 6, NC by 2.
Go take a look at where those states ended up and get back to me.
here's a number i wanna share... bush wins ohio and its 20 votes!
I think that's bull . What does a recipient of a graduate degree, in say, music necessarily know about politics more than anyone else? Why would that lead to better judgement on political matters?
like i said, within the margins of error.
Believe them if you want, discredit them ifyou want. They mean nothing either way, you have four more years of your man.
You're right brodels, all those years of school mean nothing.
<<<Has a degree...knows that Kerry is more full of than Bush by own research.
Also...what pct of whackjobs are voting for Kerry? 99%?
Most post grads are probably silver spoons whrere it's chic to pretend to care about the poor and underprivleged....yet when it comes to giving women the right to vote in Afghanistan, or freeing Iraqis from a dictator, they suddenly lose their concern for the underprivleged.
Instead they say that those people are too "savage" for self governance.
That liberals are smarter is a stereotype and the fact that so many of them buy into Michael Moore's BS, and fail to see that liberal politicians are essentially a bunch of yes men, proves it.
They mean something. But they don't translate to political smarts, especially if those people didn't study politics.
Being a medical doctor doesn't make you more qualified to make political decisions. Being a medical doctor makes you more qualfied to practice medicine. What does that have to do with politics?
My point was I know and you know that you're not stupid and uninformed just because you don't have a post-graduate degree YET.
So it's absolutely ridiculous to assume that everyone else that doesn't have one is either. So how can that really be "telling"?
Are post-graduate degrees in say, art history, really relevant to a particular person's grasp of economics and political science?
That's the case with some, but in my experience, it certainly isn't the case with all or even most.
So, are you trying to argue that the portion of the population with Graduate school experience is on average equal in intelligence to the nation that does not?
Because I think that's bull .
Sure, that isn't the case with the poor and uneducated ones....their beliefs are sincere...but that doesn't carry over to their politicians, at least not now.
