We've got the Nobel Laureates vote.
According to one out of one Nobel prize winners (for Economics no less), the George W. Bush tax cuts were good but too small. See the story here.
Update: I misspelled "Laureates" - guess I don't use that word enough.

Um, you spelled "laureats" wrong. Perhaps, if you're going you're going to imply that Republicans are smarter because they're endorsed by Nobel laureates, you should spell "laureates" correctly.
Oh... one more thing. The open letter signed by 169 business-school professors (including two Nobel laureates) opposing Bush's economic policies was started by Harvard Business School professors.
I forget... where did Bush get his MBA?
See? I can appeal to authority too.

Fair enough on the spelling - fixed. As far as "implying Republicans are smarter", I didn't really think this was any kind of comprehensive proof, hence my "one out of one" comment.

Okay, I hate to supply your arguments for you, but here:
368 Economists Against KerrynomicsThere are six laureates on that one.
Of course, I would counter that one with this piece:
Kerry Wins Backing from Nobel Economics LaureatesThere are ten on that one.

Interesting quotes. I guess that shows that you can find someone on any side of an argument. (And I mean that both ways.)
I confess I didn't research how many other Nobel Laureates had come down on one side or another of the issues. I thought I had made it plenty clear that it wasn't exactly a statistically significant sample (one out of one). The story caught my eye, I had my blog composing window already open, so I posted it.
