sorry for quoting you wrong but I just think there is not such a huge differene in opinion in the US. For me as an outsider, like I said, the elefant and the donkey to me are almost the same species.
I know I just saw the scheme in newsweek. I got a different conclusion though. (and sorry if somebody feels insulted) What I thought was "all the economically important states (except for Texas) are Kerry states while most of the farmer states are Bush supporting. (that's where you get your square miles)"
Anyway, if according to you there is so much difference in opinion, why are there only two parties that play a role?.
By the way I just saw on the news a part about the republican convention (the part with schwarzennegger).
The things arnie said made be become really scared. I just hope the rest of the republican doesn't see things the same way. The things he said about the UN and that it is better that the US arranges things made me wonder if he just doesn't want to have a world dictatorship led by the US. More scary was the huge applause from all the people that were present.
If we get 4 more years of Bush, I guess better realtions with other countries are out of the question.
Quote:As for America go do a google search for "red and blue states". If our elections were held on geographic opinions, Bush would have this in the bag by hundreds of square miles. However birth rates do matter in elections (Breathe Jester, breathe!). On a side note if you ever wondered where our civil war came from; that's it.
