That Bush won anyway, and by a decisive margin, sends a sobering message to the national Democratic Party.
Yep... can't BUY an election eh Soros and Moore?? :)
Bush won 55 percent of the Catholic vote, 45 percent of Hispanics, 65 percent of regular churchgoers, 61 percent of Protestants, 40 percent of union members, 54 percent of families with veterans and 54 percent of those with a high school education. The female gender gap that once helped Democrats is disappearing. Bush won 57 percent of married women and nearly half of all female voters, even as he beat Kerry among male voters, 53 percent to 46.
I find it VERY interesting that Bush won 40% of the UNION voters. That's very encouraging!

Kudos to Utah, Nebraska and Okalahoma-- not a Kerry County in the entire state. Honorable mentions to Wyoming and Idaho for only one each-- both the centers of popular ski resorts and playboy millionaires trying to protect their turf against real Americans.
The map shows that I have a lot of options on where to retire to, where to visit, and where to buy things. Only red for me.

Some of the bigger splotches on the map are indian reservations. S.Dak would be red, along with a large section of Arizona.
Even the big blue EV states (NY, CA) had more red counties than blue.
Not by my math. The GOP picked up two seats, with two Louisiana seats headed to a runoff, where the GOP will probably win one, and lost one - net plus 3.
Why is it that water seems to attract dems? Look along the Mississippi River, and coastal areas?
--Can't attempt to explain the middle counties that are blue...workin' on it, though.
I'm in a red county in a blue state--NJ.
But color me happy that President Bush won this election.
Borders do help.
I don't think the 40% figure is much of a change from any election. But that's not to say that unions can't manipulate turnout in certain parts of the country.
I think this map should be posted on every site and place possible. It needs to be in every place a Liberal Democrat/bleeding hearts looks. AND, radical lefties, Michael Moore, B.S., Whoopie and all the other Hollywood trash should sit up and take note: More AMERICANS DID VOTE FOR GEORGE W. BUSH THAN DID NOT.
Looks like you can drive from the Carolina shore to Anchorage without having to travel through a blue county... or perhaps Traverse City to Tampa...
Hmmm... this could be a nice promotion for AAA: "Red Rides Across America"

As I watched the first returns from the East, on CBS, with my wife and saw West Virginia first go "red", I smiled at her. When Kentucky went red next, I told her; "America is voting her guns". There is more to morality than just sex and more to arms than just hunting. There is public morality and trust.The Democrats have neither.
What about that lone CA county that is listed as a tie? Any details?

Now we're PINK?! Sheesh!
Let's hear if for Alaska, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Utah.
