Very interesting

We want what you have, and there's nothing you can do to stop us.

Wanna bet?

Does not surprise me.  I saw a map from the last election, red vs. blue, who won each county.  One could travel from coast to coast without having to pass through a blue county.

I saw a pretty disingenuous version of this comparison.  Red states blue states, overlaid with a map of free vs. slave states from the civil war era, implying that opposition to the 0ne is racist.  <spit!>

Joke is on the blue counties when they starve in the dark.  God help the red ones adjacent,  may their ammo hold out.

That's a nice picture to imagine but I don't think the lines will be quite that distinct.

You should look up what the map looks like among voters that are federal tax payers.

Indeed. Were the data available and allowed for public dissemination, I would like to see that map as well as a "voters on government entitlements" map. I think the change in emphasis of the landscape would be pretty interesting and informative.

They've actually published such a map, based on CNN exit polls however so the veracity is a bit questionable.

I hate how the overlap of red/blue comes out purple, which just looks like blue anyways.


And WTF is up with that little square in Idaho?  Or is that Spokane, WA (WSU might cause that much blue, maybe...)?

Wherever it is, burn it!  Burn it with fire!


I'm rather surprised by the amount of red in Louisiana.  I always thought the chocolate city and its enclaves would be bluer.

SEIU.  Yuck.

Spokane.  My idiot neighbors.

Notice also the beginnings of blue tumors in Montana.

The trouble with Scotland is that it's full of Scots.

So, using the schools, let's breed them out.

That is Sun Valley where Hollywood stars and folks with inherited money buy property.  The combination makes it a natural nesting area for collectivists.

I think he's looking a little farther north, up by the panhandle.

I guess I didn't get the secret decoder ring. I don't find the map very informative. [kicks rocks]
