People in large cities tend to not have the same ideals of people in the suburbs or rural areas. If you look state by state in the ones lost bybush you will notice that Kerry wins in large cities and Bush in suburbs and rural areas. Different people associate with different candidates.
For example:
Illinois
Kerry 55%
Bush 45%
Kerrr won Chicago area counties which was alone enough to win the state
Oregon
Kerry 52%
Bush 48%
Kerry won Portland which carried the state.
Washington
Kerry 53%
Bush 46%
Kerry won Seattle counties which carried the state.
Minnesota
Kerry 51%
Bush 48%
Kerry won Twin cities area which carried the state
California
Kerry 55%
Bush 44%
Kerry won Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Franciso areas which carried the state.
Michigan
Kerry 51%
Bush 48%
Kerry won Detroit which carried the state
New York
Kerry 58%
Bush 40%
Kerry won new york city which carried the state
you get the idea. Kerry is from a big city, boston, he has ideals which appeal to those in big cities. Bush is seen more as the average guy, appealing to the rest of the nation. CNN has all the well done flash maps to view. |

Have you ever even been outside of your house? The irony is that when you make claims that rural people are un-educated and close minded, it is you who ends up appearing close minded.
Hell, can you even cite any factual statistics that say only smart people live in big cities, and conversely, only dumb, uneducated people live outside of these big cities? Since when does a person's geographic location/preference determine their intelligence? |

i have lived booth in big cities and rural areas, and i must say that people in rural areas are generally less caring about the rest of the world, also it feels like they are duber. I can only base that on my own experience tho. |

So IQ may mean you're smart, but that doesnt help you on the job.
Whether it be president, accountant, teacher, or even a truck driver.
There are plenty of smart people who float through life not realizing their potential and achieving what they truly can. Now thats sadder than having a low IQ. |

People in rural areas tend to assume rural jobs. Sure you've got the doctors and lawyers and what have you but there are a lot more traditional or agricultural jobs in the rural areas than there are in the urban areas. These jobs don't require a college education, and therefore less people end up actually going to college. I'm not saying nobody in the south goes to college or anything close to that, but it makes sense that those in rural areas would not need a college degree as much as say somebody living in Manhattan, and thus they don't have the same level of education.
That Map is hilarious though. |

you still don't understand? the Yankees are the New York, the Mass, the New England crowd, which happen to be at the top of that great IQ scale.
Just a wild guess, Iran ranks half that of Mississippi heh?
