3. I love the infographics
92% of Texans who voted think Shrub is to blame. Gotta love it.

8. DUers in Utah, Idaho, Nebraska - just a couple of votes will turn them BLUE!
Whatta say we try and get them all BLUE! North Carolina needs the most help at the moment! :kick:

7. Done. 85% Bush. I wonder why they don't mention the Congressional
Repubs for the bill.

12. I noticed that...
Even with that advantage what do they have, like 4 states.

Pathetic that the people can express themselves time and time again yet our leaders have to be prodded to stand up for us.

15. Yeah...
I was just noticing that.
There were 8 red states on the map, and 6 of them were 50/50 ties.
Was it too much trouble to put another color into the program???
Jeez...

11. Built in graphical bias on the map?
States that are tied in votes (ie 2-2) are colored in red (pro bush, anti congress) rather than white (neutral)

13. Good catch! Yes- biased to the right
This poll may not be on the list of most important things --- but I wonder what Time would say to that obvious bias if someone called them on it? :shrug:

20. Done, and technical kudos to Time (though I hate them in general) on the roll-over
map, very cool.

21. The state by state rollovers are fun...four states showing red at this
moment are actually tied. Deceptive. Oregon and Washington are an incredible 95% and 87% against Bush at this moment.

22. Look at the South - only two states think its the fault of the Dems -
South Carolina and Alabama.

But, the mid-West, a region that gets a "by" on this board while the South is forever blasted, has FIVE states in the "red."

More proof for me that the South isn't our problem - it's the mid-West.

27. Too bad...somebody in NY has figured out how to spam vote this
poll and is skewing the numbers overall by making NY a 2-1 vote in favor of Bush. Pretty silly.

29. SPAM vote for NY is right! Only 19% now blame Shrub...
Looks like this poll has lost most of it's validity - at least in NY.

But then again, check out Texas! :)
