Interesting...... I guess the rats hate Bill Gates more than pubbies.

It's not really a big surprise.

Libs need something simple that a two year old can use.

The rugged individualism of conservatives allows us to use PC's loaded with Microsoft Windows that requires mental stability to use and also the requirement of knowing a nerdy kid or family member who can do triage on the often misbehaving PC.

There is a marketing concept roughly referred to as 'pop culture hot zones', these are areas where you see concentrations of new cultural trends. They are often defined by populations living in close proximity (think NYC) or a high number of universities (Boston). In these areas, you see a need to be part of the group dynamic more than you would in 'flyover' country where individualism trends seem to prevail. This particular election map seems to be the best I've seen at displaying this trend.

Basically, in these areas, people conform to a norm in order to 'fit in'... this is why you see political campaigns focus not only a large portion of their campaigns in these hot zones, but also the type of campaigns- such as "Vote or Die" or "rEVOLution"- they are used to cause people to emotionally become connected to the group dynamic and not want to stray.

This really is one of the keys the Republican party has failed at in its marketing, but its also tough as one of the underlying core principles of our party is to promote rugged individualism, not following like sheep.

This is something that I’ve thought and guessed for a long time. It doesn’t surprise me at all.

I build and use PC's because I like to change and upgrade hardware and I use 2 financial trading programs that only run on Windows based platforms. Macs don't allow you to fiddle with the hardware even though they use cheap ECS motherboards and cheap RAM for which they charge exorbitant prices.

The smug, arrogant, condescension of many if not most Mac users (Not Freep Mac users, who are wise and properly informed and pragmatic about the realities of the current world) goes right along with the smug, arrogant, condescension of so called Democrats.

What kind of computers will the Dhims be able to use when they’ve succeeded at finally destroying and enslaving the US to the Islamofascists and socialists? Will there be any computers left? Any access to dissenting information that doesn't follow the party line?

I think the results might be bogus.

My ISPs access to the internet is in Chicago.

My ISP is located in Purchase NY

I'm located in Colorado

When I look up my IP address it is located in Purchase NY
