It is. That bolder statistic -- that she everywhere wins the lowest educated at rates as high as he wins that black vote only in some cases -- is pretty remarkable, especially when taken with his winning over 2/3 of the most educated, everywhere.

How many others remember learning LCD not as liquid crystal diode in technology contexts but rather as lowest common denominator in mathematics? And of course by metaphorical extension in any situation where the target seems to be increasing public appeal by lowering standards of quality?

Again, I'm not running for anything, so rail against me for being un-PC or whatever, but it seems to me that when you look at all this, this campaign is about this divide in our society.
