Red State Nation (With a really good Bush County Map!!)

Here's a version of the map with the correct colors. Blue for Bush and red for Kerry.

Blue is my favorite color.

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.

You've done a great service to many of the color blind people here.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I see only six Blue states and one Blue district: Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Hawaii and D.C. Not bad.

Of note, San Diego County voted to reelect Boxer...

That's because no one could find Bill Jones.

Boink! Whats the scoop with Austin, Texas -- one little blue spot in the middle of a sea of red?

My guess is that it has to do with whether or not there is a liberal bastion in the county such as a university, 5 Star resort where liberals hang out, or some other such.

[texas booster]

What about that lone CA county that is listed as a tie? Any details?

[geopyg]

Nice graphic. How about one referring to Osamma's threat to the "Red States"?

I would like to make won like:

HEY OSAMMA!

America Won

You Lost

"Why is it that water seems to attract dems? Look along the Mississippi River, and coastal areas?"

I can't speak for all the Mississippi river counties being blue, but, in the case of Arkansas and Mississippi, those counties that border the river, make up the delta area of both states: very poverty-stricken, and welfare-dependent populations in those counties.

Oops ...won like, should be ONE like..

Guess where MY mind is at!

[snippy_about_it]

Jackson Hole and the sensitive, tolerant people.

Liberal, wacko, nutbag capital of Texas.
