The 2008 US Election thread

That makes sense. I should know better than to accept the spin delivered to me without having seen it myself.

She should have said "National Enquirer", of course, if she really had her finger on the pulse of her constituency.

I know it's 2004, but I thought it might make interesting reading for Tyrones own

How credible are those figures?

[Hardy]

Hoax, it seems.

Sorry - it should be true. Would be interesting, if anyone has the time and if the data is available to do the real one.

Well I dont give a fiddlers - I just sent it off to all those silly americans I know. I hope none of them have the time or inclination to check out www.ruinagoodyarnwiththetruth@snopes.com

The highest average IQ in that list (CT) is just about the general average. The Mississippi one would suggest a very large proportion of the population barely able to put one foot in front of another!

Then it must be right.

I lived in CT for 5 years.  In lower Fairfield Co you have all the Wall St. types living intheir $10 m mansions-who probably have very high iqs. thereby upping the average. The rest of the state is either complete white trash or black ghetto, whose IQ is probably well under 100. Half of the people in Boston cant spell their own name either for that matter

I see the DUP have asked that Obama ensures that the White house continues to be a warm place for unionists like under Bush & co.   

I'm sure it's high on his list of priorities!

We should be thankful the world has been saved from Sarah Palin. The latest news is that she's even more profoundly stupid than we knew. Newsweek has released some material it agreed to hold until after the election that reveals she didn't know South Africa was a country. She didn't know Africa was a continent - thought it was a country and South Africa was the southern part of it. Reportedly she asked the interviewers where it was.

In fairness she probably couldn't see it from Alaska.
