Yet another explaination of a Bush victory

What exactly is IQ supposed to measure? If it's native intelligence, it can't be doing a very good job if there are wide variations (or really any variations) across states.

IQ is a very weird thing. It's supposed to measure a combination of what you know and what you have the potential to know, but not one or the other.

Basically, it doesn't mean all that much, it just gives you a very general idea of how smart you are. Important to note that IQ tests for a single person must be taken more than once, because they're not long enough to give accurate results each time.

Inq, did you check CNN.com on election day? It had tons of exit polling, for every state, although I admit, it did lean Kerry for some reason. Which was mentioned in the Daily Show.

The exit polls turned out to be one of the big embarassments of the election. I don't know how they were conducted, but I suspect that possibly Kerry voters were just more eager to tell pollsters for whom they voted and why.
( Had I been polled, I would have replied "It's called a secret ballot." )
