Not intentional, since maps are based on numbers. However, maps can be tricky as you know - Wyoming is big, Rhode Island is small, but the latter has more people.

I am referring to the electability math of the electoral college, the demographic math that points to deep yet narrow support, the maps just illustrate the concept. Another way to put it is with Obama's victorious state totals, 30 states give or take a few. Sounds great except many are sure to go Republican in the fall. Many have many fewer voters than many other states. This is not to say that they are unimportant. They are, but as you point out the math and the maps need to confirm each other to be reliable, not just a manipulation of the data.

FWIW - I am for a Dem President more than I am for any one candidate. Edwards, Clinton, Obama.

Thanks for pointing that out.
