After reading of Al Franken's attempt to diminish the recent Republican victory and national mandate, especially his remarks about "desert states", I decided to take a closer look at the spread of the vote differential. Taking 51,5 to 48.5 as the starting point, which candidate would gain more states (or lose) if we took those states, which had a lower differential, off the map. These two maps show the difference:
States carried by Bush wear margin of victory was equal to or greater than 51.5 to 48.5

States carried by Kerry wear margin of victory was equal to or greater than 51.5 to 48.5

Check the info for WV, which is not colored for Bush. He woin here by 94,000 out of 750,000 (making it 56%)
Doin' a speech on the electoral college on Fri. Any other relevant maps I could use to rub it in to a lib teacher?
Your right, my error. WV should indeed be red in the first map.
You Left out West VA on Bush's map.

This is an interesting map.
Damn, Idahoans really hate liberals!
Here is another map that allows you to zoom in for better detail within a state: http://alt.cimedia.com/ajc/pdf/elect_results_uscounty.pdf
Better save what you find since these things seem to be expiring.
Al Franken is a pathetic little man whose spiritual homeland is some European sewer. The prarie rose doesn't bloom for him and the eagle doesn't cry in the mountains.
Ugly condescension of many liberals revealed at last
It's a new day. Libs need to live with it. (Bush won Iowa later).
Found from this thread.
AMERICA 2004:
59,209,925 votes for George W.Bush (51.07% of votes cast)
55,638,551 votes for John Kerry (47.99%)
AMERICA 1992
Bill Clinton: 44,909,806 votes (43.01% of votes cast)
George Bush41: 39,104,550 (37.45%)
H.Ross Perot: 19,743,821 (18.91%)
Looks to me that America had a mandate AGAINST Bill Clinton but couldn't agree on who to go with.
AMERICA 1996
Bill Clinton fared better here (spinning against his critics with blame for talk radio provoking the Oklahama City bombing, half of America didn't buy it):
Bill Clinton: 47,400,124 (49.23%)
Robert Dole: 39,198,755 (40.72%)
H.Ross Perot: 8,085,402 (8.40%)
