After seeing your "factoids," I decided to do a fun investigation myself. I went to a site that ranks the states by quality of education.....

Then I used the final results of the electoral map, including the percentage of votes that went for Obama and McCain [see screen shot below].....
http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html
It turns out that 9 out of the top 10 states in education voted for Obama. Seven of the bottom 10 states voted for McCain. On a side note, Obama got 10 percentage points more than McCain from postgraduates.

Significance of all this? None that I’m aware of :- )
