A different look at the results - By county, And Purple Haze?

That lever that the neocons pulled on 11-2 was hooked to a flapper ball.
That wooshing sound heard shortly after was the economy.
And finally that final glub after the woosh was the burp of the fatcats after they got all the bennies!

"Pride of rulling the world",
"Lust of Money, it's flowing into the treasury",
"Glutenus aquisitiions of holdings",
"Greed, you can't have any of mine",
"Sloth, let the common man do that"
"Wrath, take the spoils of those who have fallen"
"Envy, Kings do what they want, why can't we!"

Is this what we've come to?

NOt off hand, but you could try a google and the census site for details.

UPdated with a

the "Purple Haze" that results if you create a red-to-blue palette based on voting percentages.

2008 Campaign Slogan: "Move over Rover, and let Jimi take over!"

I figured it was a matter of time before Mr. Hendrix weighed in on a thread with "Purple Haze" in the title.
