Admin note - This discussion has gone in a completely different direction from the original thread, and we're talking about general demographic trends as opposed to the upcoming election. I've split the thread for this reason.
That's always fascinated me. Universities, and what you call 'colleges' (which I think are the same thing?), in which education is pursued at the highest level, which generally attracts the brightest and the best, has left wing leanings. These minds which have been exposed to so much of humanities history and experience, have come down on the left side of the fence. Interesting. While generally your average working class gun-totin' USAmerican who has had little to no formal education has right wing leanings. This would therefore lead one to assume that in America the educated seem to be inclined to choose the Democrats. How very interesting. I would like everyone to note, by the way, that I'm a Tory and thus support the equivalent of your Republican Party.
