clearly, if elections were won by how many square miles you had instead of electoral votes, McCain would have won by a landslide!
It always happens like this, but still, I think you would have more respect for the people who live in those red countys, many of whom, I am sure you served with and whom served under you and quite possibly one or two who served over you.

The map shows there is not a huge amount of support for the libs - something you refuse to accept.
And you fall back on your usual tactic of insulting thsoe who reject liberalism
Not a huge amount of support for libs? Upon what do you base this statement square mileage? The fact that Senator Obama won the areas of mass population should tell conservatives and Republicans something. It should tell them that they are not getting there message to the inner cities and that it is time for a new approach.

My county was Blue? Do you think that maybe it had something to do with the fact that I voted for Bob Barr rather than John McCain?
