Kerry Country!
It's been posted once or twice but I'm not getting tired of it yet.
that map, and a more useful one shaded for concentrations, has been repeatedly posted.
What it tells you is that with the exception of huge urban areas that can't take care of themselves and need gov't $$$, there aren't many democrats.
The blue counties look like a cancer on the US.
Yes - posted 100 times. In fairness, under no specific title, however.
bttt
Posted a hundred times and I hope it gets posted a hundred more.
SOmething needs to be done to change urban influence.
As liberals continue to have abortions the red areas will grow.....
This is also the welfare state map: Ghettos of urban minorities, Indian reservations, and the poor black rural south.
However as a resident of a Democratic State and Democratic County, I wonder what the map would look like at the precint level?
My suspicion is that one would see some very very interesting realities. One would see democrats being in the majority of some of the poorest neighboorhoods (the entitlements), where government employment is the strongest (the big government crowd), universities (the cultural elite), enclaves of the arts, and areas where organized labor dominates everything.
It would be very interesting to see a precint map of how the US voted as I would wager that Democratic strength is in a very very small but population concentrated area of this country.
We are after all a Republic, we can never lose sight of the fact we send people to represent us in government. These people are easily corrupted and swayed by power. We need ever to be vigilant and hold their feet to the fire.
Kerry Country!
Bush Country made this excellent map. (thanks BC)
I never knew I love red so much. I don't mind looking again and again at this map.
And in the midwest, socialist Northern Europeans: Scadinavian/German, the old Progressive Party, and taxpayer supported radicals like Garrison Keiler (did you ever read his ultra-leftist ravings?).
I shows that 80% of Keery's support comes from large urban areas.
Either way...Red or Blue...it punctuates the political situation and condition in our nation geographically...and actually religiously too. When overlayed with a map that show the religious persuasion of the ocunties in question...it is very interesting.
#1 - Is there more blue than in 2000? Looking at it casually, it looks like there is.
# 2- Overreliance on this map is unwise. Many many more people live in the blue counties, on balance - counties don't vote for their state's representation in the electotal college, people do.
I bet looking at 1992 and 1996 county maps shows whole lots of red, too, but they were still losses.
