Bush's raw margin in Texas and Georgia (2.24 million votes) was larger than Kerry's margin in New York and California (2.20 million).

Heck I knew the South had won ever since CSX and Norfolk Southern have taken over almost all railroads east of the Mississippi. The old Yankee railroads have been adsorbed.
Resistance was futile.

It just looks like the South rose again. If you look at the map with counties you'll see that it's Urban against Rural/Suburban.
It was nice of the South to Vote for the President,though. : D

As an unfortunate resident of a "Blue" state, I am so happy we have the Southern states to thank for our momentous victory but your analogy is absolutely assinine! It is ignorant and hurtful and reflects badly on your fellow conservatives who abhor the implication that the freeing of an enslaved people was not morally justified.

1. This isn't news (so why is it posted here?)...
2. The Republican Party started in the Union with the goal to abolish slavery, and I'm grateful for all the Southerners that have joined. But bashing the North is ignorant, as there are many Republicans still in the North.
3. The Republican Party has always been on the right side of history. It opposed slavery when it was popular. Opposes abortion when it's popular, and opposes gay marriage when it (seems) popular.
4. North Dakota and Idaho are hardly the South.
5. The Silent Majority won, (who are both in the north and south)
6. If you look at a county by county map, you'll notice that there's a lot of red! (EVERYWHERE)
I really hate this whole north and south crap!!! We are America. Not the north, not the south. The Civil War is over and get over it. It's frustrating how many here, are still stuck in the past (the past that they weren't even alive for).
If I sound a bit pissed, I think it's because I'm tired of the North/South crap and the stupid slang used here towards those in the North such as the "damnyankee". This only serves to divide the Republican Party.
Also, some of the comments here, make it sound like the Southern Democrats have hijacked the Republican Party. It was the Democrats that refused to pass Civil Rights early on. It took a Republican senate and house to get the laws passed.
I welcome all southern democrats that have gotten away from their racist ways, and have converted to the Republican way of thinking. However, don't forget the great legacy of the GOP.

The irony is that when Clinton won TWICE, conservatives did not talk of secession. Conservatives talked of doing a better job next time.
The libwakos are discussing cultural divides but are missing the fact that their MSM myopic worldview is a significant minority.
According to fox 53% approval ratings for Bush was from those who voted. This suggests the 49% put out by the MSM was a spin number to help kerry.
It will be interesting to see what happens next. Why would any lobbyist talk or give money to a democrat (gay) party member? Republicans hold the purse strings.

There were eleven states in the Confederacy, and 30 or 31 states total voted for Dubya. Had the North voted for Kerry in a bloc, Dubya would have lost.
It is however fair to say that the Western - Southern alliance that many attmepted to build during the Jackson Administration (which was fumbled away by John C. Calhoun, the poster child of "too clever by half"), is now a FACT. I don't recall any election since 1860 where the nation was so neatly divided by region as it is now.

these liberals like to hate the south but if they look at a map by county they will see plenty of red in the blue states. most of kalifornia is red.
they should be attacking non-urban areas instead of entire regions.

Let's not forget what Zell is saying. He says that the current GOP is the National Party circa 1940. I still do not like the comparison but believe it to be accurate. Therefore I say give the south credit for staying true to their political convictions.

One of the few conversations that didnt turn into an bitter argument had to do with the real reason why we fought the Civil War. It's great to see that after a century and a half (roughly) the South may just help us defeat liberalism in this country.
Git R Done, Dixie!!

Help! I'm overcome with guilt! 25 years ago I moved out of a northern county that voted for Kerry. I live comfortably now in reddest of red counties here in Georgia. Am I still responsible for where I was born? Doesn't 2 decades of living in a red state account for anything? Am I still reponsible for an accident of Birth?
To: Always Right
Since the war against southern slavery, the south has been the decider in evry single election in the past century. You have to win at least some of the south to win the presidency. Algore and Kerry failed to win a single state.
