One More Observation

A quick scan of some exit polls on the Dem side reveals that Obama consistently pulls in a majority of college graduates and Hillary a majority of non-college graduates. My own little theory on this gap -- which, coming from someone with a postgraduate degree, might come across as patronizing and for that I apologize -- is that those who feel more comfortable with the nuances of policy (read: more educated class) are more willing to accept someone who speaks in less specific, but posits a larger theme to tie together his views. Those who are less comfortable with the details of policy are more eager to put their trust in someone who has a very deep knowledge of the ins and outs of the policy maze. Thoughts?
