The one thing that stands out to me, if you look at a district-based map of the whole country and then red vs. blue is:

By land area and location nearly the whole country is RED.

Generally, the only areas that are BLUE are in or immediately outside of major cities

No foolin, but I am referring more to income and other types of demographic breakdown.

Most demographic breakdowns are MILDLY in favor of one party of the other (women 55-45 dem, men 55-45 rep, catholics, PhDs, etc etc).


however, there are a few cases where if you look at certain demographics, it is literally like 90-10 democratic.


It really bothers me that whole groups of people, categorized only by PHYSICAL TRAITS THAT THEY WERE BORN WITH (i.e. sex, race, etc) can be so unbelievably biased towards one party.

Meg Whitman loved CA when Jerry Brown was governor. I never thought it was a good campaign idea to basically say your opponent was awesome...

See this is why this country is going to shit.

Election doesn't end major discord for GOP, Obama - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_bipartisan_challenge;_ylt=AmP9PHCR8YHFSfAmHnvOJ a.yFz4D;_ylu=X3oDMTJvaWltaXEwBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAxM TA0L3VzX2JpcGFydGlzYW5fY2hhbGxlbmdlBGNwb3MDMQRwb3M DMgRzZWMDeW5fdG9wX3N0b3J5BHNsawNlbGVjdGlvbmRvZXM-)

Its a downhill rolling avalanche straight down that was 8 years in the making thanks to Bush. Obama comes in to try and stop the monstrous avalanche, but fuck, there is no hope. Republicans then complain (as if John McNeedACane could have done better) and remain bitter so they just say No to everything that congress is trying to pass (even if they agree with it) just to gridlock the system. So now they have won back majority seating and their goal is to get Obama out of office? Great, so a Republican president can take hold of office....but it wont matter he wont fix anything anyways. But I'm sure that the Republicans will have no problem for taking credit for all the beneficial Obama policies that take effect after 2012. America. Fuck Yeah! :rolleyes:
