You had to reach back 50 years!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Dea...25_ 1948-1964

This shows the percentages of different demographic groups, including
breakdowns by education level, that voted for the Democrat in
presidential elections from 1948 to 1964. In all five elections, the
less education one had, the more prone to vote for the Democrat. Even

Read the text above the chart. Those same stupid ones had simply become
Republicans.

"Beginning in the 1960s, the southern cities and suburbs started voting
Republican."

"With the collapse of the New Deal coalition in the South, in the 1960s,
the region has generally voted for Republicans in presidential elections."

Right on.

Only when comparing Democrat to Democrat. Why don't you compare Democrat
to Republican?

We're talking about education, not geography. The more education one
has, the less likely one is to vote Democrat.

Let's talk about you misrepresenting what the numbers tell us.
Look at 1964 again.

College educated 52% voted Democrat
High School educated 62% voted Democrat
Grade School educated 66% voted Democrat

Go ahead, put the missing Republican numbers on the chart. Clearly, the
less education one has, the MORE likely one is to vote Republican.

So, you'll exclude the highest-educated because they spoil the curve
that you want.

That holds true in *every* election. So, even when the Democrat wins a
majority of a given educational attainment demographic, his share
relative to the share he got of a lower education level goes down.

Or, put another way, voters who finish at least Grade School are likely
Democrats, while those who don't even make it onto the chart are
Republicans.

It is beyond dispute: as level of educational attainment goes up, the
likelihood of voting Democrat decreases.

Until you hit that Grad School level, which you'll necessarily overlook
because it spoils everything. And you'll overlook the sub-Grade School
level too, where more Republicans sit. Sure, just cut off the top of the
curve (Democrat) and the bottom (Republican) as you wish.

So then only the dumbies dont vote as KKK members?

Seems as though the KKK has been an official arm of the Democratic
Party for 150 yrs. And the Kluxers are still voting for Democrats.

Sorry..something is quite wrong with your math.

Kluxers are never that smart.
