I'd guess what you're talking about is more a function of academia in general.

Bingo. The more you learn, the more likely you are to be liberal. Hmm...wonder why that is?
(You're also more likely to be agnostic or atheist, but that's another matter entirely.)

Bingo as the classical definition of liberal, yes, but not necessarily liberal as in the bastardized version the Left uses. If you look at acadamia you will notice one thing that everyone has in common. They all are either funded by the US government or grant money. Basically their entire livelihood is from the US government. Since they get their paychecks from the US government, they do not get paid very much when compared to their talents. Also on college campuses, the gay and lesbian community tends to flourish (not to mention sex in general).
Now, look at the Left, what do they push as an agenda? The main issues are abortion, gay rights, big government, and everyone works for similar pay regardless of your talents.
Coincidence? I think not.
The whole smart people = Left people arguement is a joke.
Why don't you pole the most successful people on the planet in every category and look for trends there.
