Righto. I have seen the census data before, but it didn't remind me of Dave's maps so explicitly. The change from 1970 is amazing as well.

As a note, straight up survey data finds that those with a bachelor's degree are most Republican, while those with no college and those with post-bach's are more Democratic. However, once you control for race and income, there becomes a linear positive relationship between education and voting Democratic.

No, those 42% of voters with a 4 year degree are slightly more Democratic than average, they had a 49-49 tie for President in 2004.  Thos 16% who went to graduate school supported Kerry 55-44, while those 26% who didn't supported Bush 52-46. I'm sure that those with PhDs were greater than 55% for Kerry.

Those with a bachelor's degree excluding post-bach's are more Republican than average.

OK, better. You don't lose your bachelors when you go on to grad school. Some of that 16% might not ever have gotten a graduate degree, anyways.
