Like the inner cities of Chicago. Where you can be attend public high school for 8 years, or until you reach the age of 22.
Oh wait, you're right. You said MOST educated, not BEST.
Bit of a false argument there. Just because the most educated areas of the country voted for Obama does not change the fact that some of the least educated areas also voted for him. And that some of the least educated areas voted for him is not relevant to the statement that the the areas with the best education voted for him.
I don't agree with a civics test for elegibility to vote but I think that what people are missing is that Tancredo is pointing out that an uneducated populus will always vote for a large centralized government whose spending is used to make them further dependent and also more likely to vote for that group which hold their economic lifeline. Such a situation leads to parity at the lowest common denominator, not prosperity.
Get real. The lower classes vote Democratic because historically the Republicans loyalty has been to Big Business, not the worker, not the consumer and not small businessmen.
Personally, I don't think it would be right to have to pass a test to vote.....I understand the point that's being made by suggesting there should be one. If there was, I think would be more like the test people take for citizenship. I scored an 87.88 on this test but, it's much too difficult for something like what's being suggested. There are questions on it that go well beyond what a person needs to know to be able to make an intelligent decision on whom to vote for.
If the point is that the average American voter doesn't know that much, I agree.
If the point is that that ignorance only leads to them voting for "fill in the blank with whoever you don't like", then I disagree.

Given the opportunity I would never have voted for Tancredo,
