Don't know the percentage of land that voted for bush. I'm shocked at texas though, a large chunk of the southern tip voted for kerry, I didn't know there were areas like that in texas. Though I'm glad I'm from new england, I only wish more people were.
What the hell is wrong with the middle of Wisconsin and Minnisota anyway? Is it something in the water?
This is a much more telling map of party affiliation instead of the states as a whole map. Every densly populated area leans blue. It seems the property owners and business owners there are outnumbered greatly by people with their hands out.
Ever come accross a pan-handler in Kansas? I didn't think so...

most counties were only varied by a few percentage points....though bush won a lot of counties, mostly small counties with not a lot of people...usually rural...shows this country is divided evenly....

See signature and tell me this country is evenly divided.
Democrats are the buggy whip in modern politics. They are irrelevant as an opposition party. There is just nowhere else for the kooks to go. If this were Italy or Germany the Democrats would be split into Labor, Greens, Socialists, Communists (They are finding a home in the Democratic party under a variety of "program" supporters.), you'd have a gay rights party, black party and now probably even a secessionist/seperation party.
That fractionalized set of interests is terribly conflicted. Many are at odds with one another. While the libertarian minded in Republicans, like myself, are not in league with the Evangelicals I have far more in common with them than I would the socialist, green and labor movements.
This country isn't as polarized as you think. It's only the platform that the kooks occupy that lead you to believe it is.

WOOHOO!!!!! I live in the most liberal state in the u.s. (ma)!!! At least it appeared the brightest blue, though vermont looks almost identical. Though, honestly, ma is very liberal relative to the u.s. For example, I was considered far left wing at school there, and in toronto I'm a just a moderate left. The liberals in the u.s. are nothing when compared to other countries. Damn canadian left sees everything as black and white, much like the u.s. right. I would like someone to explain though how a state filled with farms is as liberal as vermont though.

You can have massive defeats on multiple fronts in politics and still have support in the high 40's. That's the state the democrats are in, huge amounts of support, off by a few percent. Bush won by 3.5 percent (if I remember correctly), switch slightly over 1.75 of that and you have kerry as president.

Hilarious.
The population centers PAY for the rest of America. Places like New York, Boston, and Los Angeles are creating the vast majority of tax revenue that funds the government (and it's still not enough to fund the unnecessary war that this president got us in!). Corn subsidies, beef subsidies, soldiers and sailors all primarily hail from the red areas. So really, from a strictly economic sense, for the deeply red areas it's just good business.
Now I think that most in red states voted for Bushy because of his strong emphasis on religion. But don't forget to watch the dollar!

People pay taxes no matter where they live. Just because the combined income tax from one city is more than another doesn't mean that they are doing more work; only that they have more people.

Dude, the per capita income is way higher in cities versus counties. Meaning, if you average it all out, each city person pays more taxes then each county person. Also the majority of government-supported jobs and subsidy payouts go to people in the counties.
I'm not talking about amount of work. I'm talking about tax money. Two different things.

Don't forget, we are the most liberal, and the country is founded by us, and the US Constitution is base on MA's.
United States of Canada still works, means nothing that there are red zones in the north, the majority of the north are smarter and silenced the dumbasses from the country side.
HAHAHAHAHA
Like anyone will believe that "newer" map, Utah as the most Republican state, yeah they have values with they 8 wifes and 100 kids.
Oh wait, they are the most Republican, everyone in Utah is white.
