How the 2008 election went

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... :roll:

I was wondering what that was supposed to represent.

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

Heck, I reckoned that cows & crops don't need night lights.
