hmm... two reds in the top ten and two blues in the bottom ten. what does all this mean? that being smart is not enough.

The news story actually used last year's stats (must have been written by a Republican), though there isn't too much difference.

And aren't the Democrats usually associated with blue and the Republicans with red?

why, yes. why?

A retarded error on my part - humble apologies.

I was actually writiing a post doing the very same thing (hence the nerdy observation that they were last year's stats), glanced at your stats, and missed the blues at the top so it appeared like their were more Republican states at the top.

I'm blaming the lack of contrast between dark grey and navy blue on this one. That's what happens when your on the web when your supposed to be teaching.
