What you're saying is like "please, let me substitute my totally emotionally-based imagined truth for this completely comprehensive chart you just presented to me."
What is wrong with you? Wow, am I sorry I painstakingly mapped the entire electorate county by freaking county against census data in excel after the last election. I guess I could have just substituted what you imagined to be true!
Good Lord.
:banghead:
Are there a few counties that are strongly Democratic and poorly educated? Probably, I can check my spreadsheets later. But do you understand that "on average" is not just some abstract concept and that summarizing information by groups leads to a more accurate reflection of the truth than "there are a few uneducated Democratic counties so I will dispute that the uneducated voted overwhelmingly for Bush in 2004"???
Holy Fuck.
