Default Why are the smart states for Kerry?

California, New York, Mass etc are very lopsided towards
Kerry while the stupid states e.g Alabama, Texas ( except Austin) Utah etc are for Bush.

The whole election could come down to a fairly
stupid state like florida.

I don't mean to insult individuals, these states are only statistically stupid, even Utah has that guy that won a million on Jeapardy, and Montana has Ray Zee.

Some of the smart states get that way by people moving
from the stupid states but I would classify Hawaii as
relatively smart in a party-school kind of way.

How are California and New York smart states? One has elected two actors for governor, and the other a woman whose only qualification for office was that she tried to push through the most ill conceived health care plan in American history in her role as first lady.

Hawaii's had a huge brain drain problem in the past decade or so. the political arena is stagnant, and the economy has all of its eggs in a single basket (tourism) that is likely peaked out due to limited resources (land space). I would classify Hawaii as a stupid state, on the whole.

I see you are from the stupid part, Houston of a very stupid state. I think you are trying to slight Hillary but somehow you don't even know what position she was elected to ( its Senator not Gov ). Maybe someone from CA or even Washington state can have a coffee with you and explain it.

I guess its the stupid Californians who realize they are outsmarted at home that are overrunning the the rest of the west like locusts. Perhaps only stupid New Yorkers are the ones flooding into FL. Or maybe they just don't want to live in an over taxed, over regulated enivironment anymore. No, you're right. They're stupid.

Why are the "smart" states the most screwed up economically (have the worst state budget deficits, highest taxes, etc.)? California, New York, etc...

I am from Washington, one of the "smart" states, and we are so smart up here, that we don't underestimate people because they have funny accents, or dress funny, or bang their cousins [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
Seriously though, Dave, this is a pretty dumb thread.
