Just sayin’.
… but it’s different (for one thing, Sauguache County is not shaded red!).
NY Times President Map
(use the “Voting Shifts” option)
It’s interactive, so you can look at the shifts at state and county levels. Colorado voted 12% more Democratic in 2008 vs. 2004. Even El Paso County showed a net 16% shift towards more Democratic over the last 4 years!!!
But don’t get too excited. As a country, we are still considerably ‘redder’ than we were in 92 & 96. (There’s a slider next to the map you can use to compare 2008 to several previous years.) Could this be true?
Colorado, however, shows a net shift of 8% towards Democratic from 96 to 2008.
It looks like only in Oklahoma did every single county in one state go for McCain! (Hell, some counties in Oklahoma voted for Gore in 2000!)
In five of the New England states, every county went blue. Hawaii is the only state in which every island voted blue in 2008!
…when you are related to everyone that voted Republican?
An image of their family tree:
shamelessly stolen from bill hicks
I’m guessing Saguache. FYI, Obama received around 40% in El Paso.
Kerry got 57.82%, Obama got 62.45%.
So, no stain on Colorado after all.
but there are also “hometown” and “Katina” effects in that map.
Alaska & Arizona are the hometown effect so they are not necessarily showing a trend.
For the rest, it’s 3 very insular parts of the country. The Republican party is the party of lets hide in the past rather than embrace the future – so that does make sense.
If you mapped all the churchs that engaged in snake handling it would be coincident with the map for the most part.
This is just continuance of maps developed after the 2004 election. Where incomes and education go up Dems do better. I have some maps by county of edcuational levels in the US and of the 2004 results. Those with less education vote Republican.
One of my Austin relatives said that there were 15 Obama signs for every McCain. In every red type state with significant educational towns like Florida, Georgia, Texas, (and recently, Wisconsin) are blue islands amidst redness.
Were Arkansans really pissed off about Clinton not getting the nomination? Where there actual PUMAs after all?
it’s good Southerners who were quite happy to vote for the first Black president, so long as he was a white man from Arkansas. Not so much otherwise.
The Democrat got more votes this year, so of course the delta’s going to shade blue. Big whoop.
That’s about the one thing that’s not interesting. More people voted than ever before – again – therefore the winner would have more votes than last time around’s winner. The result is a shift in votes toward blue. It really is that simple.
More votes doesn’t translate into a shift – only a change in the percentage of votes for each candidate.
Let’s not be totally absurd about it.
