5. Alberta has a
Bible belt of Bush loving conservatives, and Australia just re-elected Bush-supporting Howard.

6. When polled, even Albertans preferred Kerry.
Therefore, Alberta should be blue.

8. Very true
I'm just assuming it's because of Harper and his Bush-loving band in general.

Most Albertans are normal though. :)

21. Bullshit
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 04:32 AM by LiberteToujours
A higher percentage of Albertans would have voted for Kerry than Californians!

7. maybe it's because:
Alberta tends to vote for right-wingers in Canada.
Australia just re-elected their bush-supporting leader.

11. Believe it or not
some NORTHERN Ireland type phoned Rush a few days before the election and claimed that all of N. Ireland supported Bush because Bush knew how to deal with terrorists.

The way they'd like to deal with the IRA presumably

I assume it was a member of the Orange Lodge, bowler hat, umbrella, protestant rightwing ideology and all. :)

15. I hesitated making them red or blue, and decided to go with
blue, because to make them red was too much red.

But do you think they would like **?

Alberta and Australia both because their governments.

Ireland got painted red because I did not notice it leaked through from the UK.

Ohio, as far as I am concerned is BLUE until the votes are all counted. WI and VT, and NH are blue if you look closely.

Any other complaints?
