Blue Nation!

[kpete]

From mydd:

Given this situation, I thought I would take the opportunity to turn the tables on Republicans and show the current county-by-county and state-by-state electoral maps. Using the Survey USA numbers and information form Dave Leip's excellent election map resource, I have been able to create solid estimates of the current red-blue geography:

County-by-county


State-by-state

1. I could get used to this!

[brazil]

2. Excellent, everything is proceeeding according to plan...

Soon we'll all look like this:

[noahmijo]

15. You Fool! You're Exposing Project X!! Hide The Specimans NOW!!!

We are not supposed to disobey the overlord's orders and show the world what can be done with the cells of blueberries when mixed with that of humans yet!!

[stevedeshazer]

3. Good work

Bush Country sure is experiencing some MAJOR SHRINKAGE.

[linazelle]

4. It was always blue. n/t

[Jim Warren]

38. True, true nt

[sakabatou]

5. Tornado Alley still mostly red

[Atman]

22. They've had their brains sucked out

Them that aren't still locked underground in their shelters.

[Ian David]

37. That's why Gawd keeps sending more tornados...

6. The fact that El Paso County, Colorado, is blue calls into question

the validity of these results. Trust me, I live here.

[originalpckelly]

8. I live in CO as well...

I think that COLO. Springs is the capital of Dumbfuckistan, right?

[jaxx]

11. I thought it was Dobsonville.

[rockymountaindem]

19. Maybe not the capital

but there are definately a lot of Dobsonites here, no surprise about that.

[porphyrian]

7. They can have Utah. - n/t

[brazil]

10. No...

They can't have Utah. They can have Utah County, but that's it.

(From a blue man in a blue county in a red state... in what is unfortunately still a red country)

[porphyrian]

13. Well, I've only been to the airport, so I don't have much invested...

...in it. Right, fuck 'em.

[brazil]

16. Does that include me?

You may not know this, but Salt Lake is pretty damn liberal. We have Rocky Anderson as our mayor, one of the most liberal mayors in the USA. Oasis in the desert? Hell yeah, in more ways than one.

And it's not easy for us here, with 95% of the state legislature being Moron Republicans. Give us some support... we're fighting deep behind enemy lines.

[crispini]

24. LOL, welcome to DU.

And, from one red-stater to another, be strong and grow a thick skin ASAP when posting here.
Although there are many good people who recognize how hard it is to live in a red state, and all of the good work that many of us are doing, there are also a TON of nimrods here who love to issue blanket fatwas like, "Texas should just drop off the map," "Give Texas back to Mexico," etcetera.

Don't let it get you down. Drop by your state forum to try and find some neighbors... or come by Texas and adopt us. :P We're a good crowd and we know what it's like to be a DUer from a red state. :hi:

[porphyrian]

27. Hey, I understand. I'm in Tallahassee. - n/t

[lonestarnot]

17. Red country? hmmmf me thinks you've been tipp'n a few.

[brazil]

18. Well, maybe I have had a few...

...but that doesn't change the fact that the Reds still have power over all three branches of government. And that the rest of the world sees the USA as Bush Country.

Believe me, I do hope this all ends soon, the sooner it does, the more likely it is that we can somehow climb out of this wonderful hole we've managed to dig ourselves into.

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. Damn,

It still sucks here in Kansas, though. . .

[petgoat]

33. There's a train each day, leaving either way. nt

[FoxNewsSucks]

39. Thanks for the enlightening reply,

Many people are the cowardly type that will cut and run because a situation sucks. I'm not. I think it's better to stay and try to make things better.

[Usrename]

41. Kick some ass for me.

Welcome to DU!:toast:

[petgoat]

42. Maybe it's cowardly to go, maybe cowardly to stay. You're the

only one who knows. I lived in the midwest for ten years. KC always struck me as
one of the more exciting places I saw there.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Change has come]

12. If the blue counties in Wyoming are accurate

The State should be blue. Those are the counties with most of the population.

[brazil]

14. It's close...

Wyoming had a 51/49 split in the state-by-state poll, pretty close to dead even. So I'm not too surprised.

Even here in Utah, it's still pretty close at 51/46. Given the nature of the rest of the state, that means Salt Lake County (half the state's population) is probably about 2-to-1 blue.

[dusty64]

20. cool.

:kick:

[stop the bleeding]

21. I love these maps

It always amazes me how the center is like this,

I saw your comment on H2O's b-day thread.

Peace, Love and Indictments:rofl: that slays me

[mom cat]

23. From sea to shining sea!

[opihimoimoi]

25. Hide these things...the Pubs will have an Apolexy or a Gran Mal

[JHB]

26. You say that like it's a Bad Thing...

:evilgrin:

[opihimoimoi]

34. Yes, its a bad thing for the Pubs, a Wonderful thing for US DEMs

:bounce:

[marions ghost]

28. thanx kpete

gotta get rid of the Big Lie of the last 2 (Diebold & Disenfranchise) elections.

"Red" America--yeah right.

[ourbluenation]

29. ourbluenation! eom

[ginnyinWI]

30. The South is blue???

The South is blue! The South is blue! :woohoo:

[WA98296]

31. By 2008 the whole map will be blue, but Diebold will turn it back

That is why they need the NG on the borders...we're going to go balistic after the 2008 "election"

[central scrutinizer]

32. misleading maps

Remember those ridiculous "statistics" after the 2000 and 2004 thefts where freepers claimed that Bushco won a vast majority of the counties and a vast majority of the area of the country? Since the states and counties that are red are the most sparsely settled, it actually gives Bushco too much support. I liked the maps somebody posted that had used different shades of reds, purples, and blues to show levels of satisfaction/dissatisfaction.

[roguevalley]

35. god, even alaska is blue

[Ian David]

36. Well, a good outbreak of Haanta Virus would solve 1/3 of the problem? n/t

[Odin2005]

40. WOOHOO! MINNESOTA IS ALL BLUE!!!

:woohoo:
