I guess I shouldn't be surprised... Especially on a Chicago-based message board where, of course, the majority of posters are democrats.

The site is out of California and hosted in Texas.

Oh, you know what I mean... It may be hosted in Texas and run by a guy in California (Jason) but it's a Chicago-based message board.

Talkbulls.com, talkbears.com, soxtalk.com... Don't try to pull that bulls***. They're all Chicago-based teams.

This argument is dumber than the first one. Let it go people.

Yeah... my current location is irrelevant, I'm still a product of the South Side. I'm pretty sure that applies to quite a few on this board too.

For a fascinating trend...here's an NYT map breakdown by county of which areas of the country Senator McCain outperformed President Bush's 2004 numbers.

Make your own assumptions about what drove this effect.

 

Did they do one like this for Obama?

Not specifically, but go to tab 3 and you can get the same data.

 

Check out Indiana... wow. Almost the whole state is dark blue. White people there broke about 11% in favor of Obama.

Not much to do in the Midwest, eh?

The Shift:

The NY Times breakdown of how the country voted compared with 2004. The redder the area, the more people shifted towards republicans. The bluer the area, the more people shifted toward the Democrats.

Im still waiting on how only old black people can be emotionally moved by the events that unfolded on tuesday night.

The Shift:

So basically, McCain did better than Bush in the Mid-South and Appalachia.

 

Plus of course AZ and AK, but those are candidate-specific effects.

Did he take MO also? Because CNN's data still shows McCain leading there.

Hopefully I'll have pictures posted soon. My camera sucks but my friend brought his nice SLR.

 

Here's a few that turned out decent. Hoping my friend's pics come out much better. (Mental note: ask for better camera for X-Mas)

 

 

I'm hearing that Obama will most likely pick off the Omaha electoral vote in Nebraska.
