Then again, it's not mentioned that most of the red counties have maybe 5 people tops living in them, whereas the blue counties are all thriving metropolises.

They're liberals, Spiff! Don't you understand? The Southern "Democrats" are actually liberal subversives. The Northern "Liberals" are actually commies!

Wow! It's good to hear so many people in the US want to nationalize every industry, to remove the private property of the means of production, and to apply the motto "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"

quote: Obviously, the results in the Presidential Race are disappointing, but Arkansas Democrats still have much of which they can and should be proud: * All three of our Democratic incumbents in the Congressional Delegation -- U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln, Congressman Marion Berry and Congressman Vic Snyder -- won by wide margins over their Republican challengers. * We actually gained two seats in the Arkansas House of Representatives, giving us a 72-28 majority, and we maintained our 27-8 majority in the Arkansas Senate. No other state in the South can boast such a lopsided Democratic majority in its state Legislature. * No Democratic incumbents were unseated in this year's legislative races. Democratic performance in legislative races was our best in at least a decade.

quote: Kevin Brennan: Via Adam Daifallah, I came across this map of Canada's election results. It's interesting, to say the least. And worrying. Visually, it makes clear that we do have real regional divisions in Canada. The map shows that Parliament seems to be divided into regional blocs. The NDP is concentrated in Northern B.C. and Manitoba, with a few ridings in Northern Ontario and urban centres. The Conservatives took most of the West a ring of ridings around the GTA, and a strip along the New Brunswick/Nova Scotia border. The Liberals won most urban centres, anglophone Quebec, and Northern Ontario. The rest of Quebec, of course, went BQ. No, the actual vote wasn't as regionally divided as the results. Nevertheless, it's hard to look at this map and argue convincingly that we have any truly national parties right now.

Orange = NDP
Red = Liberals
Navy = Conservatives
Sky Blue = Bloc Quebecois

You know, if Canada would join the US, the balance of power would alter drastically and we'd finally outnumber the hillbillys. Would Canada be willing to put its national pride aside in the name of sanity?
