Here's the thing -
We can put 20 people in a room.
Ten of them will be rachel maddow, George soros, and 8 other highly educated/wealthy people who are liberals.
Then of them can be average people, let's choose florida high school dropouts. Grab em out of the trailer park even, I'll pick em up myself. They aren't "smart" by IQ test standards, but they all have Romney/Ryan signs in their yard.
Only a fool would argue the 2nd group of dropouts is "smarter" - However, one CAN argue the 1st group is misguided, lack common sense, are in denial, etc. But "smart", no, statistically, those with higher IQ vote more left - that's not something we can argue, it's been shown over and over. I think one thing taught in college is "profit from the hard work of others" - in my MBA program, they didn't teach me to dig ditches, they taught me to organize a firm to profit from others digging ditches - does that make sense? They TEACH you do try to do less work for more money in college - and that's a lot of what obama promises... Repubs might not have the same book smarts, but hand them a shovel and perhaps their work ethic is much higher, who knows.
