1. Mexicans.
They're doing all the labor anyway. I say the blue states grant them visas to work in the red states.

2. we'll buy our food
abroad. What will THEY do without a market for their food?

Plus, California is the biggest agricultural state.

3. That map cannot be correct. It shows Chicago as red.

For the margin of victory in Illinois, there cannot be that much red. I am suspicious of that map.

10. Look at the largest vote margin for Kerry on your map and compare it
to the other map. Something is wrong because the other map shows that blue circle in Illinois as red.

5. We'll eat lots of seafood, fish & seaweed
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 05:28 PM by CottonBear
since we control both coasts, ports in Florida and Texas along with the Mississippi River. Maybe Canada and Mexico will help us out with grains, fruits and vegetables.

16. Chautauqua
Hey neighbor.

Silver Creek for me. Chautauqua used to be all Republican. I would like to think I helped to turn it blue starting around 1960.

18. Born and raised in Jamestown
and moved to Florida in 1980. As I remember it was a very conservative, buttoned down, religious region. Lots of Amish nearby as well.

Keep up the good work!
:hi:

7. We finance MANY things for them, they'd better feed us!
The blue states are the richer areas of the country (if I'm thinking correctly) and we bring a LOT of money to the table.

They don't want to play games with us, LOL. They'll keep us well fed :)

8. Remember that many many counties are teetering on a 50/50 split
