   I’d love to see that done by population scaled like this one: http://www.style.org/iowacaucus/maps/scaledresults/

   Yesterday I correlated this map with the one AP did after the 2000 election, and made a map that shows only the counties that switched – Republican to Democrat (blue) and Democrat to Republican (red). It’s hard to see where a shift of 3 million votes came from.http://blogs.salon.com/0003800/Gary Newman

   Wow, all three maps are very interesting! The main one is not as shocking as it might seem. Someof those BIG RED areas are very sparsely populated.For instance the whole states of Oklahoma and Nebraskadon’t show a single blue county at all. But, together they have a population LESS than county Chicago is in.It’s nice to see a cluster of blue counties in Texas.

   I’d love to see the map of where Kerry and Edwards campaigned and see how closely it matches the blue areas. As far as I’m aware, they didn’t set foot in Alabama more than once and certainly no farther south than Montgomery.

   Here’s a large county-by-county map from Princeton University. BTW, an even larger,highly detailed version is linked further down on the same web page + there’s a link to a similar map for the 2000 election. It’s interesting seeing the varying hues of purple interspersed throughout much of the map.

   Metro vs. Retro.

   I think – for some reason – of the pockets of people that hid out in the woods in Fahreheit 451.

   Renee: Me too, but I confess it’s beyond my graphics expertise.Gary & Cee: Interesting maps, thanks. Gary, a lot of the additional Bush votes came, I suspect, in areas that were already strong Bush supporters in 2000, and show up as black on your map. Evangelists don’t care much for ‘strategic’ voting ;-) Mike: Agree, though what disturbs me as an environmentalist is that the areas of wilderness that could still be saved are almost entirely Bush red. Doesn’t bode well for the future.Susan: There’s been some research to indicate that candidate appearances (which are mainly in front of supporters) aren’t as important as face-to-face and house-to-house contact between supporters of one side and moderates leaning the other way.Uccella: Heh…and in terms of gay marriage rights, Metrosexual vs Retrosexual?David: Yes, and the Eusa folk in Riddley Walker.
