3. Wow! I forgot all about acid!

4. The regular version of the map

That warped version does my head in

[ginnyinWI]

7. if you use the regular version, go to the link and compare

it with the "city lights" map to see how well the blue lines up with major population areas on the map. All those red areas must have are cows n' cornfields. :)

10. How the HELL does Indiana stay red?? There surely are more people

in the blue areas:shrug:

16. It's a lot bluer now

Than it used to be. My sister called me Tuesday night after Indiana flipped 3 house seats and said, "We did our part!" You can't ignore that!

But to answer your question, yes, and no. The 4 most populated areas are Indianapolis(The little blue dot with red all around in the middle), Fort Wayne (Upper right hand corner in red), Evansville (Blue lower left hand corner), and the Gary-Chicago area (Blue upper left hand corner).

11. Go Utah!

17. The West has a lot of libertarian type people,

and they do NOT like what the Republican party has become. Look to seeing the West get bluer and bluer as people realize that now it's the Democratic Party which wants to stay out of your personal business.

13. It's too bad we didnb't win Nebraska or Wyoming.

That would've made it look a LOT bigger...

[Nordmadr]

14. A wonderful thing. I'm looking at NY House District 24. It hasn't been blue

in 50 years.

[Coexist]

9. United States of Rorschach ???

My eyes...:eek:

But seriously..

the blue areas are where the PEOPLE live..

tumbleweeds, snakes, crocs, cows, dirt

12. it's like a WOUND that's healing up. nt
