Why do the most educated Americans vote Democratic?
"The most familiar reason is that these voters tend to be more liberal on social issues, and Democrats speak to those views. For example, surveys have found that college educated older Americans are far more likely to support gay marriage than those without a college degree. Likewise, college graduates are far more likely to support abortion rights than those with only a high school degree.
"In turn, though, this raises the question of exactly why super educated voters are more liberal on social issues? The answer is intuitive: Education tends to increase one's exposure to different viewpoints and kinds of people, fostering tolerance -- a key basis for social liberalism.
"In contrast, less educated voters -- according to research -- are more likely to embrace intolerant, authoritarian values when it comes to regulating social behavior and, in addition, are more likely to be distrustful of those who are different than they are.
"Thus, not surprisingly, white non-college educated people living in rural areas or small towns tend to the most socially conservative voters in America -- and are a core pillar of the GOP base."

"If I wanted a fat, out of shape, Republican, Christian, good 'ol boy, tobacco chewin' fisherman and hunter who loves his Harley, snowmobile and chainsaw and decorates with antlers... I'd be all SET."
