Yes, I have seen the maps of the red-blue breakdown from 2000 (and, presumably from 2004). I have seen how the blue areas are relatively small areas that coincide rather remarkably with population maps of the United States. In other words, if you were to fly over the U.S. in the space shuttle at night, the concentration of lights you would see would coincide almost exactly with the areas that have voted Democratic -- BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LIVE. As opposed to the wide open spaces occupied mostly by cattle and corn, whose inhabitants apparently voted for Bush Jr., and think that abortion and gay marriage are greater threats to the republic than lying to start a war and failing to catch the mastermind responsible for 9/11.
Neverthless I admire your respectful discourse.
