This blog convincingly debunks the IQ-by-state thing, though be warned, some of the other stuff there is somewhat noxious.

This went around back in 2000 as well. It's been debunked - though I've yet to find "real" stats about average IQ by state.

Still, there does seem to be some truth to it. After all, I keep hearing about all the idiots who voted for Bush... :lol:

Saw it posted on another message board, but I'm not sure what the original source was.

Guess I shouldn't have taken it as gospel.
