1. Where's landslide states Alaska and Hawaii?

x(

[PresidentObama]

2. Go Edwards counties!!

[XemaSab]

26. My favorite Edwards county?

Oconee county, SC.

I'm also totally amused that Horry county went for Clinton. I spent the summer there a few years ago. I even have a library card. :P

[sandnsea]

3. Rural NV went to Obama

so something is wrong with the map.

[XemaSab]

6. Nevada's not colored in in this map

It's all Hillary-colored.

It's a variation on this one:

4. That sort of looks like the one the Repugs like to

show off. Interesting though the Obama territories are rural areas that the Republicans always carry and Hillary's is the Democratic strongholds. Could it be Republicans are crossing over in an effort to eliminate Hillary? I heard some Limbaugh callers suggest Republicans do that to sabotage Hillary.

9. Yup. "Democrats" supporting Obama suddenly subscribe to the idea land votes

[doc03]

12. Yea a lot of it is virtually uninhabited landmass. n/t

[anigbrowl]

15. Nonsense

That's not true - go look at the county-by-county results on CNN or somesuch.

[jackson_dem]

28. This is what the rethugs do every four years since they win almost all the counties and most states

Especially the geographically large states. A more accurate map would be adjusted to take into account population. Land doesn't vote. People do.

[doc03]

13. Who voted coyotes and prairie dogs? n/t

[XemaSab]

18. Land like San Francisco, Boston, Oklahoma City....

and other big cities in states that Clinton won? :shrug:

[usregimechange]

30. Notice I hillary colored the states that Hillary won that lacked co data, this was not posted for

partisan purposes.

[usregimechange]

29. "Obama territories" like San Fran and St. Louis?

[Johnny__Motown]

5. All of Nevada? really? Obama got more delegates out of there. and New Mexico too?

And Missouri,


some of this looks off to me.

[PresidentObama]

7. Missouri is right, that much I can tell you n/t

[XemaSab]

14. That's crazy shit

Clinton got virtually all teh counties except 5, but Obama pulled it off by 1%? :shrug:

[PresidentObama]

16. It's because Obama won the counties with St. Louis and Kansas City.

A lot of the rural counties Clinton won weren't as populated.

[XemaSab]

19. Ah, thanks

:)

It seems like that happened in several states. Hillary got the hinterlands but Obama got the cities.

[PresidentObama]

20. I was shocked by the results in Missouri.

I didn't think Hillary had a shot in hell.

[XemaSab]

22. Well, MO wound up not counting by a nose

:)

[XemaSab]

8. No, some of the states are not broken down by county in teh above map

County level data is not available for NM, ND, NE, ME and KS

http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/demmap/index.html

(added Maine)

[usregimechange]

31. Some states lack county data, I colored those for the person that won the state, its as close as I

could get.

[goldcanyonaz]

10. Florida should be Clinton, yeah, it doesn't count.

[Quixote1818]

11. New Mexico is not right. The three most populous counties went to Obama plus Catron County

with covers a lot of space.

[XemaSab]

21. The New York times doesn't have that data up.

:(

[XemaSab]

17. This is terrific!

Thank you!

This NYTimes graph is about my favorite toy for this election; I have it up in the other window at all times.

(Are you going to add in Nevada? :D )

[usregimechange]

32. I thought it wasn't up w the county data, adding...

[usregimechange]

33. There you go...

[electron_blue]

23. Whoa - I didn't realize Edwards had such a hold on the aqueous counties. ;)

Nice map - I was looking for something like this earlier. Thx!

[XemaSab]

24. I can't believe how nerdy I am!

Thinking: "When did Lassen county switch from Clinton to Obama?"

:rofl:

[PresidentObama]

25. DU should be renamed "Geek Squad"

[XemaSab]

27. In the land of the geeks

the photoshopper is king. :)

[XemaSab]

34. Thursday kick!

:D

[usregimechange]

35. kick
