The Tale of Two Maps

[The Paperboy]

Guess what these two maps represent:

 

[Caligirl]

Region's vote and region's population.

 

[Sunni Man]

Region's vote and region's population.

I agree!

 

[Isolde]

Region's vote and region's fraud.

 

[Caligirl]

I agree!

Bipartisanship!

 

[The Paperboy]

The first map is county by county, Democrats versus Republicans.

The second map roughly cooersponds to the first map concerning one of top economic stories of the year.

Does it say that voting in America is still pretty similarly divided on a rural-urban basis?

EDIT: Woops!! Nevermind. Well, I think this is still true though ^

 

[Caligirl]

Job loss?

<aside> Interesting that Europe is urban and goes dem most years.....

Rural = Stupid, uneducated
Urban = Intelligent, educated

Rural = red
Urban = blue

Perhaps, David, but they pay their bills.

The second map is Mortgage Delinquencies in the United States. Link here

Don't you love it when a lib has a foot in their mouth. They actually quiet down for a few minutes.

...more than a little bigoted.

So much for the smarty pants being able to manage their own affairs.

 

[DavidS]

Region's vote and region's fraud.

Wow... your avatars keep getting better and better.

Look at how many there are in red states!

I thought everything but Alaska and Arizona were blue states now?

But seriously, David, you're a trends guy. We're not talking states, we're talking areas. The deep purple areas on the foreclosure map correlate with blue areas quite a bit on the voting map. Examples: Southern California, South Texas border, South Florida and Michigan. The one area where there is not much of a correlation is the Pacific Northwest.

Bipartisanship!

No such thing exists,, it's a figmant of somebody's imagination.

Places where the economy is rougher, makes perfect sense. A lot of the counties in the middle of the country show "no data available."

If the point you are trying to make is that people voted against Republican economic policies, you did a good job of making it.
