Univ. Michigan Electoral US results map 2004

Very interesting map that shows the mathematics behind the 2004 voting and where the population and the votes for both Republicans and Democrats were cast.

Amazing stuff...

Our Currency is Collapsing. The Euro passed 1.50 to one dollar for the first time today. It was 1 to 1 with the dollar when George took office.

Heck of a job

Who is to blame for poor Republican turnout?

While Obama gets credit for bringing in most of the new voters, Clinton is solidly bringing in hers (some say the real Dem base). Part of my Obama support comes from my fear that if Hillary is the nominee the GOP base, with no one to vote for, will come out in droves just to defeat Hillary. While I think that still is true, the turnout numbers for the Dems have me believing that even an energized GOP base will not be able to counter this Democratic surge. Yes, it's possible that some of Obama's supporters won't show up, but once you get the voting bug it's hard to shake it. Once you get the idea stuck in your head that government can actually work, that incompetence does not have to rule, that a Republican does not have to win, the motivation to vote will be there. Everyone will show up in November and the numbers will be huge.

And who do we have to thank for this revival? George W. Bush. Who would have thought one man could motivate so many? He's like Obama with the motivating, except different.
