[whottt]

Yeah but the Democrats aren't primarily the Rich.

[Spurminator]

It's somewhat misleading, because it's very likely that all of those Gray counties will eventually be blue. Also, size doesn't reflect density.

But it's still interesting.

[Hook Dem]

Could that possibly be the majority making their voices heard? :lol

[Nbadan]

That map is very misleading because it assumes that people live evenly throughout the country which we know is not the case. Fact is, almost every big city not in Texas or Utah went for Kerry.

[whottt]

Also, size doesn't reflect density.

That's a given, basically NY and Cali carry the Democrats...Please note those are the wealthiest regions of the country, along with the upper West Coast...Even Austin...with it's rich kid population and Dellionaires, makes a huge statement deep in the heart of Texas.

The only ultra wealthy regions of the country that went Republican were Dallas and some part of Florida.


I disagree that the gray areas will almost totally be blue. We'll see on that.

No shit? I couldn't figure that out by looking at the map.

WOW

[Spurminator]

I'm just judging by the 2000 map... I noticed that most of the counties that are gray were blue in 2000. Obviously some of those may change, but it's likely that most will stay the same.

[Nbadan]

No shit? I couldn't figure that out by looking at the map.

Then why post a obviously flawed map? If you want a real picture of the country go to MSNBC and look at their Java-script map which shows a actual breakdown of voters based on party.

[Marcus Bryant]

There probably hasn't been much change in that map between 2000 & 2004.

[whottt]

Check out Nebraska(it's the one that's totally Red)

[2pac]

You mean Nebraska doesnt have as many people as California? Who would have guessed?

[Spurminator]

Here is 2000.

[IcemanCometh]

kinda weird that beaumont tx went for kerry

[whottt]

I would Dan but seeing as how you have pointed out how all of the media is right wing biased, I wouldn't trust anything from an obvious rightwing shill like MSNBC. :majorfuckinrolleyes

Do try to keep track of your conspiracies in the future.

[NeoConIV]

Check out Austin...LOLOLOL

[NeoConIV]

scratch that...Travis went Bush??

[Marcus Bryant]

No, Travis went for Kerry.

[Spurminator]

I'm surprised Harris county went to Bush...

[whottt]

Check out how the Brownsville area went Republican. That's kind of a surprise.

[2pac]

The map isnt flawed, you are.

[travis2]

No, I went for Bush.

:lol

[whottt]

Travis went like 90% for Kerry or something like that.

Then again...Austin is pretty much little San Francisco so that isn't much of a surprise.

[Nbadan]

As hispanics grow in number in Texas, your gonna see more and more counties turn blue in future elections and once that happens, God help the Republican party.

[Marcus Bryant]

I thought Bush did the best ever for a GOP presidential candidate among "hispanics" in this election.

Also, I'd say that "hispanics" have been in Texas en force for a few centuries now.

Try again.

[Nbadan]

The map isnt flawed, you are.

No you are, and for the next 4 years I'm gonna laugh my head off as you and your get what you have coming.

[travis2]

And more bigotry from the left...

[2pac]

As hispanics grow in number in Texas, your gonna see more and more counties turn blue in future elections and once that happens, God help the Republican party.

San Antonio is what - 60% Hispanic?

Bexar county is RED.

Houston is chocked full of minorities.

Harris county is RED.


The party in need of God's help is the party of outdated and racist ideas - the Democratic party. Unfortunately for them, God doesnt seem to help the godless very often.

[Spurminator]

59% of Texas Hispanics voted for Bush. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5297191/)

[Nbadan]

40% is hardly anything to write home about. Mexico was over-whelmingly pro-Kerry.

[2pac]

No you are, and for the next 4 years I'm gonna laugh my head off as you and your get what you have coming.

The always intelligent comeback - NO YOU ARE!

Good job.

And yes, please laugh as I cash my huge tax break check and buy a house, qualifying me for more tax breaks.

[Marcus Bryant]

40% is hardly anything to write home about. Mexico was over-whelmingly pro-Kerry.

Um ok. That was a golden comment.

[2pac]

40% is hardly anything to write home about. Mexico was over-whelmingly pro-Kerry.

Mexico's Electoral Votes: 0

Mexican Citizen Popular vote:
Bush: 0
Kerry: 0


I dont care much as to what Mexico thinks.

Whats the worst they could do? Cut off my supply of Corona?

[Nbadan]

53% of U.S. Hispanics supported Kerry. (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html) 44% voted for Bush

[Nbadan]

And yes, please laugh as I cash my huge tax break check and buy a house, qualifying me for more tax breaks

Go ahead and mortgage your ass off and when W outsources your job to India, I will be laughing my head off. I own my home.

[2pac]

Are these the same exit polls that had Kerry winning handily Tuesday.

Good job linking to polls that the national media has been decrying as innacurate for the last two days.

[Spurminator]

My job cannot be outsourced.

Living with your parents doesnt count as owning your own home.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah Spurm, like rabbits he thinks. No doubt.

[Nbadan]

My job cannot be outsourced.

But I bet it can be restructured. Look, grocery clerk baggers need love to I guess.

[Nbadan]

Living with your parents doesnt count as owning your own home.

Nor does your selling crack on street corners qualify as employed.

[Clandestino]

i am hispanic and the only person in my family who voted democrat was my mother. many hispanics are very conservative, they don't like all the liberal democrat bullshit.

[2pac]

But I bet it can be restructured. Look, grocery clerk baggers need love to I guess.

My job has been here for years and will continue to be here. You can't really restructure this job all that well.

On top of that, my company had gone from $400M in rev in 1992 to $5.5B in rev last year. We are projected to grow to $11B by 2008. My future is completely in my hands.

[Spurminator]

Can I buy stock?

[whottt]

My job will be outsourced when Americans stop commiting crimes and there is no need for Lawyers....

Let's just say, I'm not worried.

[2pac]

Can I buy stock?

We are publicly traded.

We are up around 20% in the last 3 months.

The other company I invest in is up almost 30% in the last 5 days.

Both are publicly traded, one is based in San Antonio.

[Useruser666]

The map Whottt posted is not misleading what so ever. It can be interpreted wrong, but that is a totally different thing. It represents voting based on a per county basis. What it shows is very interesting. It allows one to see exactly where each candidate got their votes from.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

No you are, and for the next 4 years I'm gonna laugh my head off as you and your get what you have coming

Please tell me what that is.


Go ahead and mortgage your ass off and when W outsources your job to India,

I just got through interview for the world's largest tech consulting firm. Outsourcing is within two years of its peak in 2007, with a whopping 400,000 jobs outsourced to Asia.

There is already movement afoot to bring those jobs back to America, by some people who instead of feeling sorry for themselves and fellow Americans and crying about it decided to restructure things and attack the problem head on in the IT sector.

Try again.

Well, then suck on this Nbadanallah:

Square miles of
counties won

Bush 3.28 million - Kerry 741,000

Population (2003) of
counties won

Bush 150.9 million - Kerry 103.6 million

Density schmensity.

[T Park]

Bush got 44% of the hispanic vote.

Yeah Im worried Dan. like the cartoon said (R: 4 more years D: 4 more beers)

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Realclearpolitics just changed Wisconsin to Bush, supposedly the absentee vote and military votes swinging it Bush's way. Stay tuned.

[Marcus Bryant]

No way. Necon. Diebold. Bushitler.

[Marcus Bryant]

Realclearpolitics just changed Wisconsin to Bush, supposedly the absentee vote and military votes swinging it Bush's way. Stay tuned.

Link? I can't find anything about that on their site.

If true, the liberal nutjob conspiracy theorists that danny likes to quote will have to update their stories...

[dcole50]

Yeah, and among newly registered hispanics, Bush slaughtered Kerry. So, the increase of hispanic voters is an advantage to the GOP, unless the Democrats find some way to appeal to them before the next election.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I can't find it anymore Marcus. One of my friends sent me a link earlier to a RCP EV page, and it had all the states colored in as of about 2 this afternoon. I deleted the email, will try to find again later.

[whottt]

Spurs woman posted that link on this forum...you have to go back a few pages, I'll see if I can find it.

[CrazyOne]

I would like to credit my parents for bringing Brownsville into the light... my dad was even a delegate at the convention in NYC. (That's where I got the "You Can't Lick Our Bush" button.)
