At first glance it looks pretty red. But then you look at the stuff that is raised and it's a blue world. That's how you win an election; the Obama team attacked where it mattered and won decisively.

If you go to the top of the page and click on the other map that's not 3D (results by county) you will clearly see all the red. Pretty interesting.

mccain won all of oklahoma. i bet the majority of those counties have less then 50k.

theres more small counties out there, then mega population cities.

mccain won the small counties, obama won where the main population is.

Do any of you guys have a theory as to why the Dems do so well in the big cities? Obama won by a million +/- in LA, CHI and a half a mil in Manhattan, Philly, and Detroit.

My thinking is that rural folks are less affected by the swings in the economy and see themselves as more self reliant. Why would people crammed together like sardines in the big cities be more liberal? Is it just as simple as the people in the cities were exposed to more of the millions spent on advertising. If it was just an anti-Bush vote then I would have expected it to be more across the board.

The most dangerous places in this country voted for Obama. LOL at these idiots that thinks they will have better lives in 4 years.


Poor people will be poor until they decide to take care of themselves. Thats a fact. Looks like all the anchors voted for Obama. LOL idiots.

The blacks and the working poor live in the city.

In rural areas even the poor think they are upper class for some reason.

Visiting with my sister and her family they are Quick to point out their concern that any Govt aid to the poor might kill their initiative.

This after we got 25 grand for a drip irigation system for the farm this year. I ask if their initative was wrecked.

But didn't these folks vote for Kerry and Gore as well? I guess the base was the same, but Obama did a better job of getting the first timers out and that coupled with the anti-Bush vote was enough to win by 3-4%

Only the ineptness of Dubya could have gotten a negro elected president of the US.

Even though it appears he is the most intellectually and morally qualified in a long long time.

LOL love how everyone thinks this. Yet he seemed clueless that his pastor and mentor was a hate America guy. Also must not have read any history on american terrorist and didn't know that his buddy was a terrorist that killed cops. Or he somehow made it all through the Chicago political machine and didn't know they were all criminals.


LOL Yep he sounds like a very bright dude. He's either an idiot or a lier
