Host you can post as many of these as you want, but until I see the data It's bunk as far as I'm concerned.

Not to worry...the link you objected to was just for the convenience of anyone
who wanted to view the entire "work" without loading a .pdf file....
Here's the link if you want to pay to view the study:

Seaver, there is not, as you are aware, much research on this topic. I appreciate that you are interested enough to ask about the link. Since available research is so limited, I don't yet have an opinion on whether McDaniel is the "best and the brightest" in his field. I'm still attempting to reverse an impression that the subject of comparative US states IQ has been "debunked".
To answer you, Charalatan....I explained what motivates me to post about this subject. I just don't understand how Bush could persuade so many people to vote for him....how he kept up any pretense of who he pretended to be....
a southern, "man of the people", after he took office, and even whether he is competent, or deliberately portrayed as incompetent....now.....this far into his presidency. Also....what is up with droves of comparatively poor, white, lower income, less educated, primarily southerners, with high bankruptcy and home foreclosure rates, lacking health benefits more often on average, than higher income northerners....voting for republican congressional representatives, and for Bush. Is it simply because of religious and racial worldview, with a healthy dose of anti democractic party propaganda....or is it because of ???????
More to pounder.....

THE MISSING LINK: Exploring the
Relationship Between Higher Education
and Political Engagement
1
D. Sunshine Hillygus
(from page 30: )
In other words, intelligence, rather than education, is the more important
determinant of political sophistication. And political sophistication in turn
engenders political participation. Hess and Torney (1967) similarly find in a
study of elementary age children that more intelligent children of all socio-
economic classes were more likely to discuss, read about, and participate in
political activities than were less intelligent children. Neuman (1986, p. 261)
concludes that ‘‘the evidence supports the idea of an independent cognitive
effect’’ as part of the proved link between socioeconomic status and political
participation.

The determination of average adult IQ in a given country seems a much more daunting task than determining a reliable IQ average of folks of voting age in a given US state.....yet it is being seriously attempted by academic researchers:
