"What the map doesn't show is by how much Kerry won in the blue jurisdictions. It could have been by one vote in each of them. Therefore, you cannot ascertain from reading that map whether "people who live in large cities vote overwhelmingly democratic." " Yes he can.......... Queens Bush 28% Kerry 71% Manhattan Bush 17% Kerry 82% Brooklyn Bush 25% Kerry 74% Bronx Bush 17% Kerry 82% Philadelphia Bush 19% Kerry 81% Baltimore Bush 17% Kerry 82% DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Bush 9% Kerry 90% Cook (Chicago) Bush 29% Kerry 70% St. Louis Bush 19% Kerry 81% Denver Bush 29% Kerry 70% Cuyahoga (Cleveland) Bush 33% Kerry 67% San Francisco Bush 16% Kerry 83% Los Angeles Bush 36% Kerry 63% Alameda (Oakland) Bush 25% Kerry 74% King (Seattle) Bush 34% Kerry 65% Multnomah (Portland) Bush 27% Kerry 72% Wayne (Detroit) Bush 30% Kerry 69% Albany Bush 38% Kerry 60% Source - cnn.com

Thanks for clarifying what you were trying to say. You are right, you can't tell it by the map, which is essentially beside the point. The fact is, I never said you can tell it by the map. I simply posted a link to the map, and wondered why a significant majority of people who live in cities vote democratic, which happens to be true, as pointed out by the wstera statistics. And which most observers already knew. Please feel free to make the final post on this matter if you wish.
