I drove through the Mojave Desert in California a few weeks ago - visited some friends in the Rosamond/Lancaster area. You are right about that! However, what comes to my mind is why aren't democrats carrying the rural areas? Sure there are less people there but why wasn't Kerry able to get a majority of those people as well? I don't have a real answer to this that is not speculative.
what it shows is that the majority chose Bush in most every state regardless what spin any publication/liberal tries to put on it. that's what counted. Anyone who thought that map would be so decidedly RED is a liar and simply attempting to lessen the fact that America stood up for what they knew was right. Freedom and values. All the whiny actors represent zero average americans so I sure hope all that "followed" follow them straight to Canada. You can bet none served to protect this country in the first place yet are the first to slam it.
An almost 4 million vote advantage in the popular vote kind of shoots that theory full of holes, doesn't it?
Not at all. 51% to 49% is not a landslide. Half of the people in the country didn't want this guy. Bush's motto in 2000 was "I'm a uniter, not a divider". Yet, what we now have is the most bitterly divided country since Reconstruction.
And twice, well over half the country didn't want Bill Clinton either. So none of this started nor ends w/ George Bush. I think a lot of that stems from people still bitter over the 2000 election. To them, George Bush's greatest crime is that he isn't named Al Gore. Aside from that Red, all I have to say to you on this subject now that the election is over is: :cry: :cry: :cry:
I agree. Looking at the map you see pools of red and dots of blue. Let me tell you this, the blue dots accounts for more people then you think. Most of the red is considered woods, desert, farmland. It's like 1 person per mile. If that. In the blue area its one person per ten feet. That information is obvious. Try driving around this country and tell me what you see, open spaces. So, yes this is a separated country.
