The Map
Electoral-vote.com, home of all that good polling data all along, has this new map by county of how the vote turned out.
He writes, "From looking at the map, you wouldn't know that almost half the population voted for Kerry. It shows very clearly how Kerry's base is in highly-populated urban areas and Bush's base is more in suburban and rural areas."
Eegads that's just so scary and depressing to look at.

But this part is cheering to me: see that little blue dot on the east side of Illinois, about halfway down? Nestled in with the acres and acres of conservative corn and bean farmers, a tiny bastion of lefy pinkos! That's my peeps! Go, Champaign County!
