Tony has demonstrated that brains = Kerry. Seriously...
EDIT - Er nevermind...the factors weighed in calling a state smart are complete and utter crap.

Factors = Public Elementary and Secondary School Revenue per $1,000 Personal Income (Table 54) +
Per Pupil Public Elementary and Secondary School Current Expenditures (Table 108) +
Percent of Public Elementary and Secondary School Current Expenditures used for Instruction (Table 132) +
Percent of Population Graduated from High School (Table 168) +
Public High School Graduation Rate (Table 177) +
Percent of Public School Fourth Graders Proficient or Better in Reading (Table 196) +
Percent of Public School Eighth Graders Proficient or Better in Reading (Table 204) +
Percent of Public School Fourth Graders Proficient or Better in Writing (Table 212) +
Percent of Public School Eighth Graders Proficient or Better in Writing (Table 220) +
Percent of Public School Fourth Graders Proficient or Better in Mathematics (Table 228) +
Percent of Public School Eighth Graders Proficient or Better in Mathematics (Table 236) +
etc.
Load of crap. Smart kids?

I couldn't find 2003 data on crime rates per state, all I could find was 2002 (just for shits-n-giggles) and I complied it all in a spreadsheet to analyse. I do not see a pattern for high crime states per candidate. But it was an interesting enough concept for me to at least look at...if I find 2003 data, I'll check again.

GOOD GOD I AM A HOPELESS NERD....

Next time I spend from 6am to 11pm writing a paper, I'll give you a call. Oh, and another one after I get a C on it. People wonder why I'm a drunk...
