My logic isn't faulty. Your misinterpretation of it is faulty. The argument is not that Bush won a landslide (no pun intended) because he won over most of the territory of the US. No comment on secession. Its about secession. Not a statement that "Bush is so great" because there is so much red area. I agree land doesn't vote, people vote. But people and countries need land. It doesn't make much sense to have a country that has a few scattered population centers in a sea of foreign territory. Most countries aren't city states, and I can't think of any country in history that has consisted of widely separated cities without the land in between. It's obvious Kerry won the people in the blue states, and Bush won the people in the red states, right? Kerry won mostly the cities and some of the suburbs in the Blue states and to a somewhat lesser extent the Red States as well. Bush won the rural areas over most of the country, a lot of the suburbs in the red states, and some suburbs in the Blue states and an occasional urban area here or there in the Red states. Tim
