What a disgrace! The map reflects that we still haven’t gotten over the civil war.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!We need Barack in office and eveybodii knows that.Not just because he’s black but because he is really trying to help America out and he’s doing more than Bush ever did and more than McCain will ever attempt to do.Knaw dat
In response to the first post, you’re absolutely right. That little line from South Carolina through Texas is by far the most racist part of our great country. What potential here if only these poor people would realize what’s really wrong with their lives and that it isn’t the “godless, good fer nothin’, A’murica hatin’ leeb’rals” they keep talking about. Idaho and Utah are compound country and our bread basket, the states in that stretch from Oklahoma to North Dakota aren’t exactly gems either.
The biggest criticism I have of this map is the coloring of Pennsylvania. I don’t think it’s aging population is going to vote for a young black man, especially after Obama’s one gaffe this campaign, which happened to have happened right there in that state. Ohio and Iowa the same.
