Red states maintain their lead

I have from time to time advocated for the secession of New England (other blue states invited to join) from the rest of the Nation, on the general grounds that if we were not burdened by the stupid states of the former Confederacy (which, were it not for the need to eradicate slavery, we should have let go in 1860) we could build a decent country, where, right now, Bernie Sanders would be considered a centrist candidate.

Anyway, if further proof is needed, here it is. I believe I’ve already cited a study that found the stupidest states are all deep red, but, if not, it’s now covered, along with cancer rates, unhealthy diets, levels of inactivity, and obesity. The deep red states are undisputed leaders. The linked article concludes:

Every state on the list of the dumb– and unhealthy– states above, though, voted for Romney, and in many cases, by the biggest margins, so they’re not only filled with stupid people who are likely to die prematurely because of bad habits, but they are also states filled with losers. Why do normal people stay in places like Mississippi and Alabama?

My guess is that normal people don’t stay in those places. They tend to migrate out, leaving the dumb behind, all of whom get their “information” from Fox.
