interesting. what are the black counties? This map clearly shows by Bush won my state. I really thought Kerry had a chance early on.

edit: that map is a little too big for the poly page

What's interesting is those blue areas are where half the American people live. Land is meaningless. Population is everything.

Che: I believe his map shows that we already have all the urban areas we're going to get. If we want more votes we have to try to take a few rural areas from the Republicans. Other wise we continue to lose.

I'd like to point out this slate article as another reason why the Democrats have lost the Presidency so many times. It's the same mindset, time over time. Extremism doesn't win elections! Shove the crazies in the back.

Opps, wrong thread.

Sneering at Republicans doesn't help, a "tough love" approach is better - you know, the kind of thing you do when you're dealing with an irrational adolescent.

When my Republican relatives express outrage about environmental pollution or complain that they can't order drugs from Canadian pharmacies any longer, I ask them "did you vote for Republicans?" They respond "yes, of course". And so I say "well you're getting what you voted for, stop whining".

I've already heard one relative say "well, I'm not voting for Republicans any more!"

Somewhat far right can win, and has done so 4 times recently.

Areas where the data doesn't translate right, by municpality rather than by county.

My party got between five and six times the vote they got in 2000.

Funny, that's pretty much Republicans' take on how to deal with the Democrats.

If McCain thought he could actually win, why didn't he win the Republican nomination?

Why didn't he quit the party and run for the Democratic nomination (which most people think he would have won in a landslide)?

[Arrian]

Umm, because he's not a Democrat. He's a conservative Republican.

Expect on all four of those elections the candidate pretended to be a centrist and most of the American population doesn't care if it's true or not.

He's a moderate Republican by any way you look at it. That's why the Bushies attacked him so cruelly in 2000.

[Arrian]

I probably should have said "a conservative, and a Republican." Which nowadays makes him a moderate.

Hey, I like him. I'd have voted for him in 2000 happily.
