REAL map of red states and blue states

[jocapo]

Here is what the world thinks of Bush*. The good news is we are not alone in our dislike of Bush, the bad news is they can't vote. I think this crude graphic reminds us that we have a responsibility to to Vote this mofo out! The repubs want to move the red line to America's borders painting the rest of America red. We can't let that happen and I'm working by butt off to make sure it doesn't.



* I used info from Electoral-Vote.com for the US and the PIPA/U of Maryland (they only polled 30 countries) for the global.

1. Alaska seems to have been bleached

n/t

[jocapo]

2. You are correct

I found that mistake and one other (can you find it?) and don't have the patience this morning to go back and re-do. Consider the graphic conceptual.

[AntiCoup2K4]

11. Nah, that's just snow

It covers up all the rednecks on the satellite photo.

[Awsi Dooger]

3. Don't forget the oceans are blue

Even Bush's environmental policies can't change that

[Quixote1818]

12. The fish and the whales are definately voting for Kerry

[blondeatlast]

4. Minor correction, Saudi Arabia should be screaming red. nt

[NJCher]

6. no

Didn't you see that thread last week? Started off with an article (NY Times, I think) of how Saudis are fearful he will win. They do not think the Mideast will survive if he gets back in.

7. Wow. Who'd a thunk it?

Pardon me while my head spins.

[Deja Q]

10. All the Saudis need do is:

1. Stop selling us oil, as they had done during the 1970s. The US can't respond as the rest of the world would side with them, if it's true the rest of the world dislikes us...

2. Pull out their investments.

Either of those will cripple us. :tinfoilhat:

I rather hope they don't do it, there's got to be a better way.

5. New Zealand should also be Blue too.

[Cha]

8. Makes me want to live out in the World!

Where my little Blue Hawaii?

[RC]

14. It's there.

Just hard to see.

The last time I flew out there, we landed after dark. As I was leaving I told the pilot he was really good for finding this little place in the dark. Honolulu shows up real well in the dark, from a long way away.

[Cha]

18. Yeah, Thanks, I see it now...but why isn't it

BLUE?! Cause it is, you know:)

[DeepModem Mom]

9. The provincial, Bible-thumper voting majorities in our Red States...

rule the whole damn world. What a sobering perspective!

[jocapo]

15. That's the point I wanted to illustrate

Isn't it surreal? I don't want America's religious zealots in charge right now. Things are far too complicated and dangerous.

[Dutch Courage]

20. How the world votes:

Here it is: http://www.us-election.com/index.php

Do you have a home page with this map?

[jocapo]

13. If you have poll info from other countries

post it and I'll add them.

[Dutch Courage]

21. US Elections.org

Click Voting Results http://www.us-election.com/wv-results.php > Region results > Choose a country

[jocapo]

25. That's a cool site

Wow, it seems like there is a site for everything! I don't think I'd use these polls because many of the countries only have a handful of votes cast. If I'm going to do the work I'd rather use established polling firms (Pew, Zogby, Harris, etc.). You have quite an impressive collection of polling links - very nice.

[peacetalksforall]

16. Kerry needs to work in credible context for using the word PEACE and

more narmal relationships with all countries. If * says 'peace', only the reds will believe him. Kerry has a great advantage.

Bush is WAR, MORE WAR. Because no country is going to let us come in and take them over while holding a candle or reciting a Psalm or verse of acquiescnce.

17. A good article to read along with your great graphic is

"An Open Letter to Most Americans

You've Lost Your Alibi!

There's also a GD thread about this article:

[NJCher]

23. can't get to DU thread

says something about "missing module."


Cher

[LiberalFighter]

19. But we have citizens living abroad that can vote

[moondust]

22. It's probably safe to color the rest blue.

Since they, too, are largely beyond the reach of the Bushmedia 24/7 propaganda and slime machine.

Nice perspective.

[cheshire]

24. Makes the stupidness of middle America quiet obvious. Stunning.

[tokenlib]

26. I thought India had a majority for Bush..No Joke...

When I heard it, it seemed fitting because of all the new jobs they picked up from over here. But maybe they had second thoughts.

[elperromagico]

27. Turn Alaska red, and you've got yourself a map.

:D

28. Dave Leip is doing a mock election with worldwide results.

The results for the US are outrageous (Badnarik 2nd place,
Bush 4th place), but the world results are pretty interesting
(remember that Red is Democratic on this site):

Europe:

Kerry - 67.63%
Bush - 15.83%

Canada:

Kerry - 57.75%
Bush - 25.35%
