I'm in Boone co and the city of Columbia proper thinks it Haight Ashbury circa '68. Its or rather they're really pathetic, teens whose parents are burnt out hippydippy types with thier grateful dead skateboards and tiedye T shirts, inscence shops (THE NEW ECONOMY), enough leftwing tenured never got their hands dirty professor types to confuse the minds of whole generations of youth, That Bush won here is like Sharon winning in Tehran.

How about.. FRAUD?

If all voters had to stick their finger in ink, the dems would be more irrelevent.

That's a great map, thanks.

I'm still 500 miles behind enemy lines.

IMHO the media finally awakened to --- RED was associated with [gasp!] communism (USSR)!

What better way to portray Republicans?

At least in their little twisted, socialist minds.

Did you check USA Today's 2000 map? It said GWB defeated "Sen. Al Gore." Huh? Al Gore was a senator in 2000? That's some good reporting.

"I put it elsewhere like this: ......."

Yep. You've summed up some very important points, nicely.

That pic reflects the face the Dem party has put forward for the past 16 months .... angry, ugly, hateful and malicious!

Oops ~ we mustn't forget these 2 treasures of treasures who recently took center stage for the Dems:

But you know what's really Hill-arious about this poster?

It looks like Hitlary is thinking "How in the name of Satan am I supposed to become President with these buffoons at the front of the party?"

re your map

The blue tumors are getting smaller and denser

and they're strategically located for slipping under the sea with a shake or a tsunami - Does God have a plan :>)

We need to put this poster front and center of every campaign - it would scare all but the most evil of demorat hearts - well, at least, separate the real, "old" democrats from the demorats.

The color red or blue was for the challenger and incumbunt. Since Bush in 1988 was the sitting VP he was considered the incumbent.

Democrats were damaged by the perception that the party and its nominees are weak on national security.

The Democratic party is not "weak" on national security.

It has a firm position combining high minded buffoonery with outright treason.
