Election aftermath


Like everyone else I'm still licking my wounds and wondering what it all means. I'll try to think that through in subsequent posts, while resisting the temptation to daydream about Canada. In the meantime, there are plenty of other interesting things to highlight for a while.

Joe,

Thanks for posting the chart with the IQs and the states. Is it correct? Unsurprising and kind of amusing somehow. Or, it would be funny if Bush had been ousted.

I'll be back in the states soon enough, but the whole mess looks a little daunting from overseas.
 
The originator of the chart explains his sources and acknowledges some concerns about the data here: http://chrisevans3d.com/files/iq.htm
I'm not sure how accurately anyone can gauge the IQ of an entire state. Even with caveats though, it's still interesting. And controversial: I'd love to hear what New Yorkers think about coming in behind New Jersey.
