Our divided country in map form
Don't believe the hype.
Head on over to read great analysis from a red-stater.
I know the USA is supposed to be in the midst of a massive turn to the fundamentalist right and all, but I'm having a hard time reconciling that centrist bit of spin with the fact that North Carolina, Idaho and Missouri - states that tilted heavily for Bush - all just elected open lesbians as state legislators, while Oregon just elected an openly gay guy to its Supreme Court. Hell, in Dallas County, Texas - which, of course, voted overwhelmingly for Bush on Tuesday - all of those right-wing "moral" voters just elected a damn lesbian as their sheriff.
