Here's one from 2012, though Alaska & Hawaii aren't filled in on this one.

Is that map from Tuesday’s Presidential election? If so, I am even more furious!

This map is MEANINGLESS when talking about the EC folks..

EC is not COUNTY by COUNTY... it is Congressional District by Contressional District and if you change the map to represent this, you will see that Obama like it or not WON more of them than he lost..

It sucks, but they won the ground game.. or more appropriately the GOP seems to have @)$*ed up its ground game.

These county-by-county maps can be very misleading. Vote totals win elections, not vast tracts of mostly empty land. Empty land doesn't cast ballots, people do. We have to focus on persuading people to at least think rationally before they vote, not vote on their feelings or "lady parts".

It will be tough because the majority of the electorate is taker rather than maker. Trying to change them from one to the other is like telling a child on Easter morning or Halloween that eating all that candy isn't good for them. Only when they have their teeth pulled out because of decay do they realize their error. Maybe that's what it will take. There are already countries out there (Greece, Spain, perhaps France and Ireland) whose teeth are falling out because of the rot of socialism.
