This map, which originated with National Journal, has been making the rounds on Twitter. It it similar to the one that was popular a few years ago that showed the United States as red or blue, by county. But this map shows the Congressional districts based on the just-completed election:
In a sense, maps like this one are misleading because the small blue areas are basically the cities, where lots of people live. But what this map does reveal is that the Democrats are no longer competitive in rural and small-town America. It is now rare for a district dominated by small towns not to be Republican.
Can you see the map?
They’re too nice. They’ve swallowed the leftist propaganda about helping the poor completely.
linky?
Linky no worky.
They have always been this way.
When Reagan won with a landslide.. weren’t they the only state not to go for him???
No, and I would love to. I had to move to the twin cities several years ago, and do not understand the state, or the people, at all.
So, I look for info anywhere I can find it. I feel lost here - a strange brand of liberal ignorance around here.
Just go to Powerlineblog.com.
Many Minnesotans are descendants from Scandinavia.
Scandinavia is paradise for social benefits to all who need it.
Except there is better work ethic in Scandinavia.
Been there and know the people since I was married to one.
Square heads cause large stress concentrations directly on the logic center of the brain?
Yes, it was a beautiful thing. Here's the 1984 electoral map.
Reagan election is not a great example since Walter Mondale was from Minnesota.
That may be true in Sweden and Denmark, but I work in Norway right now and I don’t think I have been many places with a worse work ethic. Once Norway hit the oil lottery they have now interest in working. I really pity them when the oil runs out.
DFL.
It’s the DFL.
Look it up.
It’s the crazy DFL.
Let’s sell/give/pay Minnescrotuh, to Canada.
Lutherans
Yes, but I believe Mondale was from MN, so he naturally carried that state.
I think it’s probably all the minnesotans.
