Reply #7: Red State / Blue State [View All]

[Stevious]

Looking at the NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/politics/2004_ELECTIONRESULTS_GRAPHIC Election Results map got me thinking about the whole Red vs. Blue thing.

Notice that there are no likely terrorism targets in any of the Red states? Sure lots of things to fly a plane into, but where's the symbolism? There's no WTC, Pentagon, Statue of Liberty, etc... So, of course the red state residents were willing to re-elect Bush, where's the risk for them? What's the liklihood that they'll be the target of the backlash from his disasterous foreign policy? Terrorists will surely pick on NYC, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles or San Francisco before they target a city like Dayton or Des Moines.
