Kinda interesting (but obvious), that where each state is ranked by average "IQ," every single one of the 18 top ranked states went for Kerry and every single one of the bottom 26 states went for Bush. attenuation.net/files/iq.htm |

I voted for Bush and I reside in a "blue" state.
What does this IQ list prove? Well for one thing it proves that the snotty liberals on the west and northeastern coasts of America do not speak for this Country. If anything these individuals are completely out of touch with America.

Actually what it might mean is that they're out of touch with the 53% (?) of America that voted for Bush which is a far cry from being out of touch with America in general.

Another reason I cannot stand the man--W. He's part of that great Conservative tradition of glorifying stupidity. Face it, only in this country would intelligence be viewed as a negative character trait.
As I said before, the majority of the voters prefer the simplified view of the world that Bush gives them. Does that mean all politicians should aspire to such a view?
If W could have seen the complexity of Iraq, he would have made better decisions. I have NO faith he can make the right decisions now either.
But that's OK. Americans like the fact he "goes with his gut instinct" and refuses to waver from that decision no matter what the future brings.

Apparently they also like that he never makes mistakes.

This is one of those examples of "Lying with Statistics." Would make a great project for a high school student.
Not to give any credence to this "correlation," but my father said it best: "Most people identify with Bush." My father is also a failure, drank a lot in his youth, failed to live up to his father's expectations, and he thinks he's a dummy. He's also very protective of his money and assets to the point of being outright selfish. He voted for Bush. God, what a lousy duck.

You do know that list is a hoax right? If you know anything about IQ and standard deviation you'd realize those numbers are stupid on their face.
