Reagan beat Carter and Mondale. George H. W. Bush beat Dukakis. George W. Bush "beat" Gore and Kerry. The lower IQs win far too often.

In Perry's Texas, it often seems like politicians pride themselves on stupidity(at least, according to Molly Ivins). Throughout the country, politicians frequently paint their smarter opponents as "ivory tower" intellectuals, out of touch with the "common citizen." And that has a pretty successful track record.
