it's clear that the overlap between Smartland and Bush voters is very small. No doubt, but that does little to define our terms. All it tells us is that Smarties and Bush voters are mutually exclusive ergo the Smarties are less than or equal to the number of non-Bush voters. So they could be one percent of the population or they could be half the population. We don't know and you haven't offered a suggestion. I originally suggested that Smartland consisted of academia and media progressives or some such. That would be a single digit percentage of the population. Re the Anti-Smarties, I suggested that might be equivalent to the number of Fox viewers, which is also a single digit percentage of the population. And the vast majority of the population would be neither Smarties nor Anti-Smarties. At least that's what I mean when I use those words. Can you get any more specific about what you mean?
