Sorry if I offend anyone here and I really don't like to be too political, but I just had to show this one
(probably a lot of you have already seen this):

It was to be expected... Wink

Though i agree to the "expected", keep three things in mind, first IQ tests are still not perfect and have a slight tendency to emphasize academic skills.

More important second, low IQ often means low social status, but Kerry was supposed to be the candidate for the "poor", so why he was unable to convince those he wanted to make politics for?

And third, as political problems(e.g. who is the better president, what is the better strategy on war on terror), are answerable by hard-proof science, intelligence does not guarantee, to make the better choices, e.g. a lot of theoretical and practical communist leaders were intelligent and were frustrated, that the "dumb" working class did not embrace communism happily all over the world. So the choice of the intelligent must not be the right choice, though of course in this case, there are very good reasons, why its the right choice.
