In spite of all the hype and spin, look at this mak which shows all the counties that went red! There is no REAL mandate!

President-Elect Obama, much of America dislike you, distrust you & will oppose your socialistic encroachment!

“Not a single County in Louisiana went Blue”.
That’s because there are no Counties in La.

It could be worse. Look at New England.

I’m an old timer. What I showed you is now useful to reset in a number of ways in the future.

You can also unfreeze your desktop icons and now move them around the map or map outer edges.

Not a single blue county in Oklahoma...funny.

A lot of Indians are basically conservative. Or at least anti-Obama.

This is a hunting state. I just don’t get it! It is also hugely Catholic! All those blue counties in Wisconsin besides Milwaukee, Madison and the Fox Valley are mainly rural. I’m about to tear my hair out. Because I do not understand why Wisconsin votes the way it does. And it was NOT just Milwaukee and Madison !!!!!!!!

So true.

Ohio counties are red. It is the urban areas that take over the votes. Sad shame.

LOL, people have shown me that way and I can never remember it! You either have it or you don’t when it comes to computers I guess and I don’t have it!

Nice to see that Buncombe County sticks out so nicely in the red counties of western NC. Asheville is like a blight on our beautiful mountains. I refuse to drive up there to the big mall. Instead I drive down the mountain to Greenville, SC when I need to do some shopping. I’d rather spend money in a nice red county :-)

Interesting to see that blue swatch of counties that runs through MS, AL, GA, SC, and NC. What’s up with that?

Acreage doesn’t vote, people do. And the majority of the people live in those pesky blue counties.

Amen, bro........

Funny thing the Tulsa Squirrel..fish wrap..has been chastising the people of OK for not being "with" it.

They can go pound sand....

Here's the map that counts since we elect the President on Electoral votes based upon each state's congressional representation.

Minus HI and AK...


Now let's take your county map and put it on a cartogram which would look like this.

your eyesight is not so good — new orleans, and a couple of other parishes close by went for O, as well as one way up in NW Louisiana (Shreveport area).

Rush is bringing up a tangent with the voting laws.

The bottom line is that Oklahoma is the most ideologically conservative state in the union. I’ve traveled all over the state and met the good, bad, and ugly. Did you know there are more churches in Tulsa per capita then any city in the US?....I believe it because every intersection has one. The people of OK are solid and not swayed by the tides that move other states.

TX is as conservative, but has pockets of rot that occur in top 10 cities. South TX is ‘blue’ but trust me those Texans should be all red. They speak english down there first believe it or not so I’m inclined to believe the dems have them twisted into the liberal agenda. I love south TX....the people are the friendliest in TX.

My eyesight is just fine; your reading comprehension somewhat less so. I wrote that not a single county in Louisiana went blue. I stand by my original contention.

Can’t be right, the Ohio portion doesn’t come close to the map I saw. And acres don’t vote, people do.

Interesting map. Plenty of places to move to if it hits the fan. I'm surprised and troubled to see so much of Iowa and Wisconsin as blue, otherwise things look about like I'd expect. I thought farmers were more the rugged individual types instead of Garrison Keillor like the map seems to say.
