Why is it that liberals always assume academic and intellectual superiority? I can guarantee you that I have more education, and almost certainly a higher IQ, yet I am a conservative. I guess it is probably because I used to be poor and have seen the destructive and ill advised policies of liberalism by "well meaning" practitioners.
I must say truthfully that I have never in my life encountered a liberal personally who was smarter or better educated than me. I have met many conservatives (many of my college and med school profs) who were much more intelligent and had far superior academic credentials. I have, however, met many, many liberals who thought they were intelligent, but were not.
And you're proving your superior intellect by making a ridiculous generalization...
The area's that are blue on your map represent about 15 million people, there are only 19 million people in the entire state.
Here, i will help you out
Blades of grass and cows do not have a right to vote, people do.
stop arguing on a bases of land area, it makes no sense.
I don't think he understand that "percentages" win elections not sheer numbers... 14.5% of poor in New York State doesn't explain why the entire state votes blue, the same way 20% of the poor in Mississippi doesn't explain why the state votes red. Lol

In FY 2009, black families comprised 33.3% of TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) families, non-Hispanic white families comprised 31.2%, and 28.8% were Hispanic.

You obviously have never been outside of your own city and probably live in the outer suburbs. Keep your misinformed, ignorant opinions to yourself.
Actually, I've lived all over the U.S. (though, yes, for decades in Illinois when I was raising my family), have travelled the world, and now live on a beach on the east coast.
Do you realize that percentage-wise there is more poor people in the south than anywhere else?
That's mathematically impossible. Here's why: Poverty is more concentrated in cities. There simply aren't large enough cities in red states with enough of a population to outnumber the poor in blue state cities. The three most populous cities are NYC (8.34 million), LA (3.86 million), and Chicago (2.71 million). Poverty rates: 19.9%, 21.2%, and 22.1%, respectively. All 3 of the most populous cities are in blue states. There are significantly more poor people living in blue states. Percentage-wise, the majority of poor Americans live in large cities in blue states.

Ill give you a map for that state as well so you can understand why you are so wrong.
Seems to me you're making my point. The high percentage of poor in the high population cities keep electing Democrats. How's that working out for them? Are fewer on public assistance? Are their children getting better K-12 educations?
