1. Look at Utah! He lost here big, but it wasn't the ass kicking most Democrats receive.
And he came within 2,000 or so votes of winning the most populous county!

3. Outside of AZ and MA, we're looking at a map of concentrated white racism.
That's the thing going on here. Arizona and Mass. went for their respective home senators relatively speaking, but otherwise the blue areas of hotbeds of white chauvinism.

4. Some of AR could be Clinton disappointment.
AR jumps out of the map.

10. I agree with you.
The Appalachian area especially jumps out at me.

15. AZ should be included. The state is incredibly racist.
AZ elected Evan Mecham, of all people.

5. Look at the concentration in Indiana..

..of over 10% more vote for Obama. That's quite striking, imo.

16. The Kerry campaign didn't even exist here. I must attribute some of this change
to both disgruntled people with the current administration AND our ground campaign intact from the primaries in May all the way through election day. We pounded the streets for months to get where we got.

6. Weird color scheme...
I was wondering why Appalachia went more liberal and Indiana went more conservative...

Anyways, this is GREAT news for us!

Three guesses where it would go. :puke:

8. Sarah Palin effect.
McCain went for the "hockey mom" vote with Sarah Palin. Mission accomplished. Then she opened her mouth and the nuggets of ignorance started tumbling out. Folks with higher expectations couldn't be expected to ignore the obvious. Trailing in the waning days, the Republicans turned to the Rev. Wright saturation ads- code name: Every Last Redneck.

Bottom line: they swept the Appalachians and the Ozarks.

17. It's a racism map.
If you ever wanted to know where the dems were that just couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black man, there you have it!

19. NO and LA in general are depressing the fuck out of me on this map
Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 06:38 AM by jpgray
The Katrina exodus sucks so fucking hard on so many levels, and this is meager one, but it hurts bad all the same. Fuck Bush, into all eternity.
