Are we looking at the same data set -- the CNN one?

If we are, the numbers nationally are:

some college for Kerry 46%
some college for Bush 54%

college grad for Kerry 46%
college grad for Nader 1%
college grad for Bush 52%

But whatever, Wojtek's point -- and everyone's -- about the deeply 
divided state of the country should be taken seriously. From the same 
data set, by region:

East -- some college for Bush at 48% was highest amongst all ed groups
Midwest -- some college for Bush: 50%; college for Bush: 55% (highest)
West -- some college for Bush: 54%; college for Bush: 47% (highest 
was HS at 58%)
South -- some college for Bush: 60%; college for Bush: 61% (highest)
