And Romney actually won the votes of those with a 4-year degree, a group almost twice the size of those with post-grad education. Obama won 52-46 among the least-educated Americans.
I think it's fair to say that Romney won the bulk of the well-educated vote. USA TODAY
Again, libs love to take gratuitous slaps at Republican 'anti-intellectualism' but in doing so they just make themselves look dumb.
By the same token, the rural vote the GOP owns (and btw, I'm a Corker supporter) is largely uneducated. Add in, the average college graduation rates are higher in blue than red states.
Many towns on the Gold Coast (Fairfield County, Ct) are blue, and several have median incomes close to or more than double the US average.
Outside of Latinos, and single women, voting trends are rather narrow wins, either way.

And the wealthiest (by med. houshold income) region of the country is the satellite area surrounding DC, and I'm sure they are solid blue. The bottom line is that neither party has a monopoly on the well-educated, but one party sure loves to insinuate that it does, and that would be the Democratic party.
His criticism of his own party is akin to a Klansman telling a group of Skinheads to "stop being racist."
I find this pseudo-intellectual Indian Conservative to be an enormous PRETENDER. He's obviously eyeing a future presidential run and fails to recognize that HE has been part of the problem. What a fool. He will never be able to shed the Bush-era stench that curses all current Republicans.
I think the person to lead the GOP out of the Dark Ages, has not been born yet.
WTF does that mean?
Bobby was born in Baton Rouge and he is most definitely a "Real American."
He is brilliant. You will never hear him say "Uhm." He's no good on
a teleprompter; they don't go fast enough. I had the pleasure of meeting
him once and told him that I couldn't wait 'til he became President. This Southerner is 100% for Bobby Jindal.
I second that-I like Bobby Jindal and I think he is a rising star...maybe he can help the GOP attact more minorities and change the perception...(I'm in independent so don't bash me with the neo conservative bs). He seems to be a good governor in LA.
