DEAR GOD. Look what I just figured out! (It took me over an hour to figure this out - feel free to check out my work, I certainly could've made a mistake, but I don't think so!)

Comparing Bush's percentage of the vote, 2000 to 2004, the red states got redder - and the blue states got redder! Only ONE exception, and it's NOT New Hampshire!

Bush lost a percentage of the vote in only ONE state in the Union - Vermont. In three states, he stayed the same - North Carolina, Oregon and South Dakota. In -every- other state, his percentage of the vote -grew-. Although New Hampshire swung from red to blue, Kerry achieved this not by pulling votes from Bush, but by pulling votes from NADER!!!

This is -amazing- if true. And what it goes to show is NOT that Bush has "polarized" this country - far from it. To polarize it, he would've turned the blue states bluer, and the red states redder. But that's not what happened. He has in fact moved the -entire- country in the -same- direction. That's not "polarizing", that's leadership! The entire "polarizing president" claim has been demonstrated as the utter and complete myth it always was. Just -damn-! I'm never going to believe ANYTHING the mainstream media says again, -ever-.

My source for the 2000 figures was RealClearPolitics (which gave the vote to tenths accuracy, I rounded consistently, with .5% rounding up).

My source for the 2004 figures was the CSpan electoral map:

If my calculations are accurate, and I believe they are, this is HUGE. Talk about a -mandate-!

[AppyPappy]

Good work.

[ladtx]

Wow!! Great catch. This needs to get out BIG TIME!!

[The G Man]

I'm not sure what to make of it. My instinct is that this is a fairly significant event.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Good work. Now get out there and SPREAD that truth to the medidiots.

[MCH]

Interesting, and excellent conclusion!

[devane617]

You think the MSM and politicians will ever get the message that the RATS has moved too far to the left?
I predict that we will see a mass shift in the RAT party to the right.

[Asphalt]

Ditto

[dsmatuska]

Where's MN (Minnesota)?

[Brett66]

That makes me feel better, I just wish Kerry would've been defeated by a 65/35 margin. Scary such a commie lib could make it so close.

[Tensgrrl]

Good work! I can barely balance my checkbook!

[alwaysconservative]

Where are your numbers for Minnesota (MN)?

[coconutt2000]

Hawaii... Bush lost big in the rural areas, but in Honolulu county it was a fairly close race.

Pot heads and underinformed majorities in the rural areas vote Democrat in Hawaii. Should've thought about counting them. (These are the rural areas on the other islands.)

[socialismisinsidious]

great work!
and

". Just -damn-! I'm never going to believe ANYTHING the mainstream media says again, -ever-."~~~ditto.

[cwiz24]

That IS huge!!

[Palladin]

Nice work. I thoght that appeared to be the trend last night. This confirms it.

[whershey]

Great work and makes sense.

[theophilusscribe]

Absolutely fabulous work, Qwinn. This is the story! E-mail it to Drudge, Doocy, Limbaugh, and Hannity. :o)

[MEG33]

Very nice!..Wish the MSM could see this!

[maui_hawaii]

Excellent work!
