knightni Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) 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.

southsider2k5 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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