89. And Einstein flunked math
It depends on how much you consider the factors used to be an accurate measurement of intelligence.

Kerry was very involved in activities early in his college years. He tended to slough off his schoolwork therefore. If it's his grades that are being used, then I'd say that's probably not an accurate measurement.

I'm trying to remember the name of the guy who did this during the campaign. He used several factors aside from an actual IQ test. Very subjective in my opinion.

I was also sent an email by a freeper that pointed out that Bush went farther and at a better school than Kerry. The fact that Kerry went to Boston College was supposed to be a factor, since it wasn't Yale. But parts of the email were plain wrong in claiming that Kerry didn't go for higher education at all. He went to law school at a college he could afford.

It all depends on the criteria being used.
