With last Tuesday's inauguration, I got curious this morning about how the 2008 election went by county.
Fortunately, the intrawebs have a vast amount of information on just that subject! I found this site which breaks it all down easily if you're interested.
Of course, when viewed like that, one thing becomes glaringly apparent: Republicans tend to be more rural and Democrats tend to be be more urban.
Curious indeed.

McCain seems to have carried Coeur d'Alene with something of a substantial margin. I wonder why...

Yes, that makes total sense with my theory of urban vs. rural and voting patterns.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
