15. Since Democratic voters are overall

better educated and more intelligent than Republican voters, do we have reason to hope that Democrats will plan accordingly and will overwhelmingly turn out for our candidates? That, and given the extreme dissatisfaction with our economy and another Republican war on the part of a majority of voters, might a substantial number of R’s vote against thie own candidates?
