Ruy Teixeira has posted a discussion of a demographic sub-set we haven't heard much about during the Year of the Security Mom ... college-educated white men, part of Karl Rove's supposed Republican base who gave their votes to El Presidente over Gore in the 2000 election by a whopping 25-point margin. According to analysis by Stan and Anna Greenburg, that group has been defecting in great numbers to Kerry. Kerry is currently losing this group by only about 6 percentage points, a dramatic reversal.

They say a little education is a dangerous thing. Which explains why Republicans have never been all that hot for public education. Just screws up people's heads, obviously.
