I'm fed up with all of the complaining from Sore Blue State Losers about seceding from the union, blaming the South, etc. Clearly, the DUmmies and other Left Wingnuts don't know any more about the reality of the election returns than they know about hygiene. The answers to the thirteen questions above point out just how ridiculous so much of the carping is. The Blue Staters are blaming Johnny Reb for Dubya, when in fact it's the Rockies and plains that most favor GWB. Answers to follow!

You mean 4.4 MILLION people in California voted for GWB? Are they all Rebel Transplants? This can't be true! Barbara Streisand is deeply saddened.

I'm from MA and it's been funny telling liberals that Gore got a better percentage of MA votes than did Kerry. :)

1. Massachusetts, by 2,659 votes.

2. California.

3. Washington, by 1,222

4. He won Florida by over 377,000 and lost the other five states by a combined 372,000 votes.

5. The top eight states in order: Texas, California, Florida, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan. Five are blue states.

6. The Confederacy gave GWB 19.6 million votes; the Blue State Elite gave GWB 21.9 million.

7. Connecticut gave GWB 687,000; Mississippi, 658,000.

8. Fifteen! However, only THREE from the Confederacy; the rest of the “blowout” states are mostly in the Farm Belt.

9. GWB carried “too close to call” Virginia by over 266,000; he lost the Garden State by just under 212,000.

10. None!! North Carolina (431,000) and South Carolina (232,000) combined had a greater margin than every state Dubya won except Texas.

11. None!! The eight states that provided GWB with a 63% margin are: Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Alaska, Kansas.

12. None!! GWB received 37.3% of Massachusetts, Kerry’s best state, while Kerry did worse than 37.3% in nine states (Alabama plus the eight in question #11).

13. The vastly overrated State of New Hampshire.
