DU, where ya at? ...... A geographic distribution survey.

[marmar]

I'm fascinated by which parts of America are represented on DU. I suspect all parts are well represented, including my great state of Michigan here in the Great Lakes region.
What region do you represent (as in, live in right now)?

[sutz12]

1. Bump!

:kick:

[CATagious]

2. Great idea! nm

[William769]

3. I don't know if you would call it the "deep South"

But it's definitely very south (South Florida).

[marmar]

4. Geographically yes, culturally no.

:)

[William769]

6. I'll buy that.

:)

[jojo54]

5. What a great idea!

Don't like to admit it, but I'm in the "armpit of the nation".

Screw-U Jersey, that is.

[Fla_Democrat]

7. I don't know if I want to answer

I'm kinda private about where I live... after all, there may be some key-logger there recording which one I pick.... and it would narrow it down and make it easier to.....hold please, PM coming in......

Yes?
What about my name?
It does?


Well, pooh.


Sorry, as I was saying.....

Florida

[Buzz Clik]

8. Finally. A poll that doesn't piss me off.

[Dhalgren]

9. Kick! This should be interesting. Good idea...

[unpossibles]

10. I'm in the "T'ain't of America"

known as Cincinnati. T'ain't the north, t'ain't the south.

I put "Great Lakes" but we're closer to Kentucky than the Mistake on the Lake.

[annabanana]

11. k&r. . . . .. . n/t

[demnan]

12. VA but

I'm in the area that is closest to DC

[marmar]

13. It's tough with this one because the poll is strictly by state.....

And I know Arlington/Alexandria/Fairfax and the rest of Virginia are really like two states.

[arewenotdemo]

80. hey, Richmond is blue

and I think the Norfolk, Hampton roads area is close, too...but I defer to the VA experts...

[Neurotica]

54. It's the NoVA/RoVA situation again

Northern Virginia vs. rest of Virginia -- subject of WaPo stories over the last year (especially when dealing with politics and the changes -- red to blue -- that have occurred in the outer DC suburbs).

As a Northern Virginia resident, I don't consider myself living in the mid- to deep-South (although I did select that to be technically accurate). I tend to describe my home as being the DC metropolitan area.

[bigwillq]

14. New England

Connecticut

[GreenPartyVoter]

[marmar]

28. LOL.....

I forget to add, "Beyond this earth." :)

[ceile]

18. Wow.

Lots of Southerners. We rule!

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. But if you mush New England in with the rest of the northeastern states

we're holding our own pretty good too. :)

The number I am most intrigued by is the international one.

[mainegreen]

21. Mush New England with the rest? Blasphemy!

;)

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. LOL

[cobalt1999]

39. Well, there isn't any college football going on right now.

:)

Actually, I think it is because we have fewer non-internet options to converse with other liberals, so it's not much of a surprise.

[ceile]

42. Very true.

;)

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. The Left side of Washington State.

[marmar]

29. Left, geographically and/or politically?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. Both.

West of the Cascades and Left of the Red (eastern) part of the state

[marmar]

36. Opposite of Michigan, which is blue to the right and red to the left....

Luckily, we outnumber them.

[vanboggie]

41. On the left side

Amen to the right side outnumbering the fools on this side - though there are quite a few of us making blue noise in the land of conservatives :evilgrin:

[Fox Mulder]

23. Minnesota here.

[marmar]

24. Come on, Great Lakes.....represent!

I KNOW there are multitudes of DUers in the big blue metro areas of the Lakes: Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Twin Cities, Milwaukee....stand up and be counted.

[Poiuyt]

38. God's Country

Wisconsin

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

58. Big Snow Country

Northern Michigan.

[TheBaldyMan]

25. Yurp, ahm a Yurpeen

[SammyWinstonJack]

59. Lucky you! I'm in Texas, tho' I'd much rather be in my home state, Calif.

:-( Texas isn't so bad. I just miss the mountains/beaches of Calif., Texas beaches pale in comparison.

[TheBaldyMan]

71. It's OK here if you like rain. It's been pissing down all this summer.

[SammyWinstonJack]

72. Believe it or not, it's been pissing down here most of the summer also.

I am not complaining though, since we badly needed the rain.

[TheBaldyMan]

75. and you get the desert in bloom afterwards

you might think you've dropped some acid bu it's just Mother Nature going into overdrive.

[Catchawave]

NoPho here! :hi:

[bikebloke]

35. Live in Northern Virginia

But I pedal across the Potomac to work.

[annabanana]

37. The numbers are highest where the resistance is greatest...

I expect that I would see MORE anti-B*sh stickers down South than I do up here in NY..

Up here there is kind of an assumtion that you think he is a walking disaster, hence it doesn't require sticker notification.

[2008]

40. You forgot Poland (nt)

[Ravachol]

43. Up north.

Canada to be exact. Among the "International crowd", I guess.

[Canuckistanian]

96. Welcome to DU! Where ya from?

I'm in the Ottawa area (originally from the big, bad Toronto)

[lazyriver]

44. I had to pick New England but my little corner of Maine

is much more like Canada than the rest of NE.

[Coexist]

45. Florida is weird, but we are not "deep south"

that is actually north of us. We are out of the bible belt.

[marmar]

48. It's just for geographic purposes ... I know there's a conotative meaning of "Deep South"

Yes, Florida, particularly south of the Beeline Expressway, is unique.

[cobalt1999]

60. unless you are in the Florida Panhandle.

Pure bible belt here.

[Coexist]

62. I stand corrected: those of us on EST are not in the Bible Belt.

[Dulcinea]

46. Atlanta suburbs.

The blue ones!

[marmar]

From my visits, the area beyond the Perimeter was kinda :scared:

[Madspirit]

69. I HATE rain

I'm one of those..."give me a drought and 110 degrees and I am happy" people.

...and yes, it is raining here. This is a wet damned summer. :cry:

Lee

[SammyWinstonJack]

73. LOL! Then you should live where my parents live, in Az. It hasn't rained there since Feb.

according to my dad and it's HOT there. They live just 30 miles from Bullhead City. Of course the politics wouldn't agree with you, just as it doesn't with my very liberal parents. My dad is fed up! :rofl:

[Madspirit]

79. The hottest place I have ever been was in Yuma...

About five years ago we had Austin's record high at 112. When I was once in Yuma it was 115. I'm happy as a clam with that kind of weather...<g>

Lee

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

76. K & R. Interesting poll. The DU breakdowns...

... for age, gender, and ethnicity would also be interesting.

[marmar]

77. Agreed.....

I'm a demographics fanatic.

[Flabbergasted]

78. Surprising number of people in Texas etc area. nt

[LostInAnomie]

92. Indiana! WOOT!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

93. Kearney, Nebraska.

[TSIAS]

95. I had to vote for the "Deep South"

I live in Florida, but reside in Palm Beach County. We are more like New York City than Alabama, Mississippi, and the rest of the South. I think our Jewish population is among the highest in the nation.

Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade (With the exception of the anti-Fidel nuts) is definitely not part of the "Deep South". But travel a few miles North to Martin County, and you'll find the home of a branch of the Ku Klux Klan. Go even farther north, and with the exception of college towns like Gainesville and Orlando, it's definitely part of the Deep South. I can always tell when I'm out of Palm Beach County when I see the anti-abortion and "Support Our Leader (GWB)" billboards.

[JCMach1]

98. Sharjah, UAE

[clixtox]

99. Living In Vietnam...

Most of the time, registered and I vote in Woolsey country, Sonoma County, CA. I have fled and I am happy I have, VN is the most optimistic place on the planet.
