Wert, you keep talking about how Bush won with the "ignorance" vote, but how about Democrats pandering to notoriously uneducated and uninformed African-Americans (noted by the huge margins for Kerry in the urban areas)?
Erm. What makes you think it was only the African Americans who led to a huge victory for Kerry in urban areas. After all, people in urban areas tend to have a higher percentage of college graduates. What does that tell you?
Also, Bush did win the ignornace vote. Just look at the studies. The fact that about half of Bush voters STILL believe there's a connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda is mind-boggling. Have they not looked at a paper or watched news all year?
Frankly, let's take a look. "Uneducated and Uninformed African-Americans (in urban areas)" accumulated for how much of Kerry's resulting vote? I sure as hell know it's not bigger than 50% (or, even if my numbers are wrong, it was still over a third, according to the PIPA study). That alone proves the ignorance behind Bush voters.
