Looks to me like a lot of Catholics voted for Kerry.
I heard about that. I'd like to see it, too. Also I heard the perky Katie Couric was tearful, too.
Alaska is all red, too.
Kind of a pinkish purple.
Pinkish purple? Thanks – I have seen that shade in stores, but never in use. Do people really like that color, other than on infants who have no choice?
Please refer to Post #14.
(BTW, you used my old spelling, i.e., "fuscia," until I found out there is no such color or word.)
When was Alaska renamed "Salamander" and copyrighted? I must have missed that.
I would have loved to see the break down by townships. It would be even more Republican
Actually, I heard a Commentator remark (I can't remember which one) during the campaign that in the past (ie. 20 to 30 years ago) the 'Incumbent Party' was assigned the BLUE color in maps during elections. There was no permanent assignment of colors to a specific Party and the color assignment would follow this accepted procedure much the same as the 'Visiting Team' in sports is always put at the top (or first) and the 'Home Team' at the bottom, or second:
In other words........
Yankees 6
Red Sox 9
......automatically tells the reader that the game was played at Fenway Park and the Yankees were playing 'away' in a hostile stadium. The same goes for Football.
The Commentator remarked that this convention has been thrown out in recent years.
Dats what I heard.
That’s about the color my daughter liked when she was 14 – back around the mid ‘80’s.
She outgrew it.
If you compare the faith map with the vote map you can readily see that many Catholic voted for Bush. OK?
When you compare the Catholic areas to those areas that voted for Bush (counties, specifically) you will see that many Catholic voted for Bush.
I agree the map is a little misleading at first. Just take into account the main population centers and how they disenfranchise the rest of the state. For instance, most of New York State voted for Bush, but they were countered with all the dim voters in New York City.
