Looking at the 2004 Presidential election county-by-county map, I noticed that most of New York State is red.
I decided to crunch the number, and realized that:
1) Kerry won New York State 59/41
2) Kerry won New York City 75/25
3) Kerry won New York State (sans the NYC metropolatin area) by only 50.5/49.5. (Just the flip of the national split.)
As the complete county-by-county map proves. Liberalism, as enspoused by the Democrats, only thrives in metropolatin cites like Boston/NYC/Philly/DC/LA/SF.
New York City Metro area: Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Westchester, Nassau
It should be noted that Bush received almost 400,000 more votes in 2004 than 2000 in NY and Kerry lost more than 100,000 votes than algore got in NY in 2000.
My county in NY went for Bush...twice!
Ah! Grasshopper. You have had an epiphany...and so you have revealed the master plan for 2008.
The results from Ohio and Florida were obtained by thinking and deploying on a micro basis,one county at a time. Start looking at other states and you will see the same picture set.
Now that you are in posession of the master plan, you will have to devour your monitor to avoid it falling into the wrong hands!ROFL.
Inland California should secede from coastal California.
Not all of Nassau is Blue.
I'm from southern Nassau, and we have a strong and recognizable Republican congressman, Peter King, who is chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, and an avid pro-life Republican.
Actually Long island was about 51 49 Kerry. If you remove NYC from the equation Kerry carried the rest of the state by 75,000 votes. Yeah there'sa lot of RED here.
Edit: second-in-line of HSC
This is true all around the country. County by county this was a geographical landslide in a big way. As I see in some posts here, no one in the MSM has the courage to say the truth. The only areas that go overwhelmingly democrat is the areas where people rely on government handouts the most. I looked at a town by town map of Long Island and without putting an overlay over it I could name the towns that were red.
The solution was tried this election and worked...if you cannot switch a county to red then switch it to Mauve. In effect neutralise it and allow the red counties to do the heavy lifting.
Your numbers don't add up right, its a better picture really.
Manhattan/Queens/Brooklyn/Bronx/Westchester/Nassau/Suffolk
Bush 1,180,808, Kerry 2,406,576, Nader 44,959
Bush 32.5%, Kerry 66.3%
Upstate + Staten Island
Bush 1,599,942, Kerry 1,560,471, Nader 58,351
Bush 49.7%, Kerry 48.5%
If you could show me a link to that map, I'd love it.
I'm from Democratic bastion LB, but we swept 3 Repubs into office last year to take over the city council.
Watch for Jimmy Hennessey on the Nassau scene soon.
BTTT
clearly we need to ban water in order to make this country politically safe.
those along the coasts, the Mississippi and the Rio Grande are depressingly blue.
The map for Hitlery's election showed the same thing. She got more than 1,000,000 votes greater than Lazio in NYC!
I live in California and have been developing a similar analysis. While LA and SF continue solid blue, the surrounding counties are becoming more red.
The populations of the surrounding counties, the bedroom communities, are growing rapidly as people flee the high housing prices of the urban areas. But, these areas are not turning Blue as they are transformed from rural to suburban.
I haven't laid my hands on exact county by county numbers yet, but my sense is that the margin of Kerry's win is smaller than the margin for Gore's win in 2000.
It appears that the Red tide is rolling in on the Blue coast and the Blue stongholds are becoming isolated islands of socialism.
More to come...
dung.
Today's Newsday has a centerfold of Nassau/Suffolk which breakdowns the results by election district, town by town...you can see if your guesses are right. Happy to say my community went Bush!
My 12-year-old asked me why the large cities were the blue zones. I told her about the lab experiements done on rats. They act crazy when too many of them are confined in a too small space. I think those lab experiments explain a lot.
In the past, Democrats have won statewide office by winning only five - yes, five - counties. Upstate looks huge, until you realize that much of it is nothing but a watershed for downstate.
