Dave,

For IP, if you wish.

A much more interesting map than

  http://www.speakeasy.org/~milnor/where.jpg

can be found in "the purple map" on Princeton
professor Robert J. Vanderbei's page at

  http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/JAVA/election2004/

All that red in the first map is misleading, due
to a combination of winner-take-all red/blue and
Bush's greater success in the sparsely populated
spaces - it isuggests much more of a  discontinuous
two-culture America than is true.
