From Boing-Boing
Reader Jeff Culver in Seattle says:
"I was thinking today about how the 'red v. blue' states graphic is really misleading considering the slim margins that the candidates won some of those states by, so I sat down and created the map that's attached. In the dozens of hours I've been watching the news I haven't seen one like it, but thought that you and the BoingBoing readers might find it interesting. I think it definitely portrays our fellow states far differently than the extreme way we've been seeing to date."
I am not sure if this means we are more or less divided.
But it brings to mind Obama's convention speech about how America is not blue states or red states.
Although I am feeling pretty blue today.
