Timing is everything. I just mentioned this down thread, and whaddya know, it pops up again. That means it must be important:
The Cook Political Report mines voting and census data and finds that "in the past decade, the most significant predictor of a county's shift in partisan preference has not been existing partisanship, or even income. It is level of educational attainment. Democrats have gained ground in places where those with at least a bachelor's degree comprise high shares of the electorate, and have seen their fortunes fade elsewhere."

The trend line in the nation's 3114 counties: "Each year, the Democratic candidate performed progressively better as shares of degree-holders rose."
No Democrat left behind.
