Seeing things the way they really are


I prefer to look at this electoral vote map, drawn in proportion to the number of votes (not the size of the state). Things are really much bluer (much truer) this way, aren't they? (Note how Hawaii is actually bigger than Alaska).

Peter,

Thanks for that. I feel so much more hopeful! The visual image really makes a difference.

do the pollsters really think Florida is going to Obama? That state has given me a headache the last 2 elections. ;-)

Funny, my word verification was:
TL Polsr (True Liberal Pollster?) ;-)
