Let's not kid ourselves: AR is at the top of the lists that represent the least educated populations in the USA.
Also note: the states that supported Romney in this past election are also represented in the above referenced list. There is a correlation between higher education and progressive candidates, between lower education and regressive candidates.

Come off it, SPA. the election is over. Let's see some more "progress". How about a little concern for the schools up in Benton County. I'm going to guess that their poor numbers revolve around language problems. It is a good thing ELS programs are helping, huh.

I will never "come off" stating my opinion, in a public forum, that lack of education is correlated with lack of progress, higher rates of poverty, and a general lack of higher order thinking regarding social issues.
Yes, the election is over. Those who wail about secession, please, let the door hit you in the ass on the way BACK. The rest of us are sticking around to hopefully further education, so we can hopefully go FORWARD.

SPA,
You want to talk about education levels and the vote... What do the overall numbers for the last presidential election look like when it come to those poorley educated inner city folks....from inside of what you call "progressive" areas? Was their education guiding their vote?
People vote for different people for a lot of different reasons. This year happened to have an abnormally high number of different reasons for the the CinC... plurality bound togethor for the winning side. Your opinion is based on elitist slanted stats. ... "higher order thinking"... please.
