Red/Blue, my ass!


This is just a quickie. The Red/Blue debate is nothing more than an us-or-them arguement, which, if you're paranoid enough, you could sayis put forth to keep us all Hatfield-and-McCoying so that we dont recognise the true bad guys.
Here is a map of voting results by county, shaded from red to blue depending on the percentage each way. As you can see, much of the country is rather purply. If you go to http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/ you can see a map that is warped to expand or shrink area according to population, and that map is even more startlingly purple.
