Now my take on their poll. I have always held that Republicans have a harder time selling their policies to intelligent people who know what is going on in the nation. I matched their list of conservative v. liberal states with those state's education rankings and voila! Conservative states have the poorest education. ( note same numbers indicate states tied in rank, lower number is best )

2. Mississippi, 47%............45
