Hmm.. well, still doesn't MEAN anything, since the -total- number of votes
recieved by Gore is higher - eeking out a win in a populous county isn't the
same as utterly smashing your opponent in a slightly less populous one.
I think this is an interesting map though because it points to one of the
unspokens of this election - that this has been very much an Urban VS Rural
election..
