Blue states are where we keep all the inmates in the asylums.

Quick question: I saw a post yesterday that said New Mexico went Kerry, but I heard on TV this morning that Iowa was finally called for Bush and that gave him 286 EV, which would mean that he won NM.

Has Bush been declared the winner in NM?

On second thought, the states were appropriately colored in the electoral map--they sure are blue now! :(

In my part (the Inland Empire) of the blue state of CA, the blue areas of the two red counties are the poorer, older urbanized sections and Palm Springs.

Excuse me....results appear on the left side of the screen. I just couldn't bring myself to use that word.

Overcrowding of humans in large urban areas leads to a dramatic increase in mental illness and the result is Democrat voters.

" In looking at the Blue states, they comprise the largest cities in the country - Detroit, New York, Baltimore, etc."

The largest cities are:

1. New York
2. Lost Angeles
3. Chicago
4. Houston

Any number of other cities are big, bigger than Baltimore. Try Phoenix, San Diego, even San Jose perhaps.

As a westerner, I was warned as a child to recognize that easterners tend to almost ignore the west.

Study modern demographics, young man. :)

Whoa!!! The Old Gray-Matter-Missing Lady has finally colored Alaska red!

[The Loan Arranger]

Look how close we came in Wisconsin--wow!!

[Way To The Right of Rush]

We need some sort of plan to migrate into the blue states that had the closest margin. Maybe a 10 year plan to increase the conservative population of New Hampshire or maybe even Wisconsin. Build a base then expand again in 10 years. Any volunteers to be the first wave?

It is funny that I had the argument with the Democrat coworker today about the ignorance of people that voted for Bush. As an Ivy League educated person I took offense.

Ironically, I checked the voting data on NJ state web site and the wealthiest and most educated counties in NJ, including Hunterdon county, where average income is $90K, voted for Bush. Even on national level, the CNN polls indicate that when stratified into educational levels, only people that did not have high school diploma and people that had post graduate degrees/PhDs predominantly voted for Kerry. Here is the link from their "own unbiased" source:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html

It is also such a fallacy when the Democrats try to portray that the only reason why the "rich" vote for Bush is because they are afraid of tax increases... For some reason the Dems fail to realize that taxes would go up for everybody if Dems are in power.

Thanks Shenandoah. Here are actual votes from each state (from same site) I don't know why it doesn't post here with tabs.
