No, Texas, actually. That's just the way we talk around here:') Do you see my county? It's the red tip at the very bottom of Texas.
I was born in Camden and raised in Atlantic...both blue...but for the last 25 years I've been in Virginia Beach and it's bright red!
Where at in South Jersey? Cape May County maybe?
I know, looking at the big picture it's small but I would have thought it was impossible down here. It was just GW though. Everyone else went democrat. Only one Republican won that was only running against a liberal. I guess they hate those worse than republicans:')
Bump for later
Wonderful!! Thank you!!
great idea -- I want one.
(now I'll read the rest of the posts and find out where to get it...)
Don't mess with Texas!
My county (right next door to Cook County and Chicago) went red again. It is a well-entrenched, Republican-dominated county, although there has been an influx of Dims as they flee the crime and corruption and crappy schools of Chicago.
That's Austin. A lib island in an otherwise Republican landscape.
"What constitutes a landslide in the EC?"
Whenever we win.
"What are the gray areas for?"
they are countys not yet called for either.
Cook County and Chicago alone accounted for some 75% of the Kerry vote in Illinois.
Salem County.
Comparing the 2000 and 2004 (so far) maps, I notice that most of the areas still gray today were blue in 2000.
I suspect that they're reluctant to admit they theyv'e gone red this time around. They're still counting, and counting again, hoping that enough counting will make it all be different somehow.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest or Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
Pretty doggone impressive
What's the gray stuff meekie? Florida is almost all red.
Hmmm, blame Baltimore I'll bet.
I figure population centers are the big contributors to the 'Islands of blue in a sea of red' phenomena... particularly if said population is comprised of sexual/ethnic minorities or it's a 'university' town.
That's why this county map looks so much more rosy than the electoral (state by state) map.
