a possible explanation is that democrats have more support from the fringes of the demographic categories, when talking in terms of ethnicity (ie, non-caucasians). perhaps some similar phenomenon is occuring with the education level.
btw, the idea that junior college is the 'middle' is completely wrong--junior college graduates are the exception rather than the rule--people are generally compelled by special circumstances to go to a junior college rather than full college. the special circumstances are often things like lack of funding, need to hold down a job at the same time, couldn't get into a college, have to take care of a baby at the same time, passed the GED and looking for more education later in life.
finally, i do find it interesting that more education means less affiliation with independents. My guess is that, with education, comes the realization that a vote for the lesser evil is, from a practical standpoint, more useful than a vote for a hopeless cause.
