An interesting observation from 
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html

is that *ONLY* those with "No High School" or "Postgrad Study" voted 
primarily for Kerry.

There was a similar correlation of "ARE YOU A UNION MEMBER? -- Yes" and 
"DO YOU WORK FULL-TIME? -- No" .

PS -- I read _How to Lie with Statistics_ over 40 years ago ;]

ERGO - I suspect *ANY* of these conclusions!

Now as to "... then think about which states are likely to
have people that have traveled outside the USA."

I grew up just outside of the 3rd or 4th largest city of a solidly 
"Kerry" state. A [now defunct] bus line advertised "VISIT A FOREIGN 
COUNTRY".

They were promoting a ~90 mile trip to a beach in Ontario, Canada.

PPS -- I currently live in a near the geographic center of BUSH states. 
Although I've never had the op****tunity to travel outside the 
continental USA, I suspect that if you name a country, I either know 
someone who has been there or know someone who does.

The actual difference between candidates came down to:
Bush STATED his values/objectives
Kerry said refer to my website
They both knew the majority of info that voters received would be via 
"sound bites".

Voters knew what Bush stood for.
Who knows what Kerry ... ... ... ??? ??? ??????? ?!
