I just found this site which maps the election results on a state population cartogram, which gives a better feel for the population proportions: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/ (Apologies if someone already posted this link and I missed it). Most interesting is the version of a purple map done as a population cartogram: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/cartlinearlarge.png On this map, you can really see how split the support is, even in most of the "solid" Bush and Kerry states. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
