. . This is the 2008 presidential election at the COUNTY level. Red, blue, and shades of purple in between to indicate percentages of votes. If nothing else, it pinpoints the most liberal and most conservative parts of the USA. As well as urban vs. rural parts (farmers are Red, city folk are Blue, but how you vote is strictly up to You).
