Dregs of society?

In response to my buddy who claimed this last election was the result of the "dregs of society" finally getting out to vote, let me lay a little factoid on ya'. In the 2004 election, (and speaking of, if you really wanna get sick, watch "Hacking Democracy" now running on HBO, and see how the Rove/Republican political machine teamed up to give us the 2004 election results), there were so called Red States and Blue States. There is also a branch of the gov't which tracks education and income within all the states. In what should be a surprise to no one, the states with the highest level of education also had the highest incomes. Makes sense to me. Here's what's very interesting. Of the top 10 highest education/income states, they are ALL blue states. And if that's not enough of a coincidence, the lowest education/income states are ALL red states. Sorta shows you where the Bush constituency comes from, huh? The right wing spin meisters counter with, "Yeah, but, higher education has been taken over by liberals". Consider this, if you need a complicated operation to save your life, you would naturally go to someone with the most experience, as they should be more qualified. Ditto for a plumber, mechanic, TV repairman, etc. Same with higher education. More experience means more expertise. It is the same with those who are the 'experts' in the news business. Those who make it a vocation, those who watch the stories coming across the news desk all day every day are overwhelmingly on the liberal team. That is, of course, unless they work for the Fox News Network, and if you are one of those who thinks of them as a legitimate news organization, you fall into the category of "you can fool some of the people, all of the time", and you should be ashamed of being so easily duped.
