What really matters is the correlation of IQ to political affiliation. Degrees
may prove intelligence, but in many cases it only proves that your parents were
wealthy enough to buy them for you.

No kidding conservatives are better educated. Degrees are expensive.
Intelligence is innate.

My mother attended college at the age of 54 and paid for it, had a 4.0, was
nominated Valedictorian and graduated, graduate school as Summa Cum Laude. (I
may not have spelled things correctly.)

So, she is vastly a liberal, lives in New York, owns a home ON the water, and
her back deck overhangs a wildlife preserve estuary where ospreys nest. She has
money to spare and still works at the age of 70, full time. Her IQ is somewhere
in the 150s, and she would vote for President Clinton again in a heartbeat,
should he ever run again. As would I.
