Some interesting numbers.

[Bush League]

Spent some time yesterday surfing around the election results. I found some interesting info. The eight biggest metropolitan areas in the USA are 1) NY 2) LA 3) Chicago 4) Philly 5) San Fran 6) DC/Baltimore 7) Boston 8) Detroit. What do they have in common? All Kerry states.

I checked out a few other states and was startled by the results in Texas. I guess I just assumed Bush would get 99%. Here are some figures:
Travis County (Austin - Capital) Kerry won 196K to 147K
El Paso County - Kerry won 94k to 73K
Dallas County - Bush won 345 K to 335K
Harris County (Houston) - Bush won 580K to 472K
Bexar County (San Antonio) Bush won 259K to 210K
Kerry won ever county in Mass.

Other Metropolitan areas in Bush states. Atlanta - Kerry 60%, St. Louis - Kerry 81%, Charlotte - Kerry - 52% Cleveland - Kerry 67%, Denver - Kerry 70%, New Orleans - Kerry 77%, Louisville - Kerry 51%, Kansas City - Kerry 58%, Miami - Kerry 54%, Nashville - Kerry 55%, Indianaplolis - Kerry 51%. These results are the counties, so I believe it inludes a portion of the suburban areas. This elections was won by rural America. I saw a lot of polls on women vs. men, married vs. single, old vs. young. I didn't see one on college educated vs. no college. Result, a self proclaimed C student leading the the free world elected by the hicks. Now I know why the tv programming is the way it is. Were all trying to reach out to the lowest common denominator. The Democrats should have run Jerry Springer, they would have won in a landslide. Maybe Bush can make a realty show out of the Presidency.

LOL,

All the high crime areas voted for Kerry, nuf said.

I think Bush won the income>50k pretty easily - these are the people who do the work and pay the bills in my country.

Specifically, College graduates were split on their vote between Kerry and Bush, 49% each.

Result, a self proclaimed C student leading the the free world elected by the hicks.

Because everyone knows that those living in large cities are smarter than those who live in small towns and rural areas.

Cripes.

Interesting numbers are voters by age, all over 30 (grownups) groups voted for Bush and income (over 50K - those who can support themselves and pay their share or more of taxes) went for Bush.

Wow. I didn't realize that I was an over-age-30 uneducated hick. Only in America can one election make me age 6 years, lose my college education, and become unsophisticated. All because I voted Republican.

so people earning less than this do no work? you must be kidding.

Kerry wins in the big citys because democrats traditionally put the most money in social programs. The people who use these programs the most, are in the big cities.

Your breakdown of the country shouldn't shock anyone. We vote for the party that will do us the most good.

True, so true. But watch your as#; when you get Bush you also get Dick.

Dear Soreloser (or just plain loser?)

It scares me to think of:

1. how Bush would rule the world were he the least bit intelligent and

2. how stupid the lefties must be to be beaten - twice - by a moron.

Somehow, that logic doesn't square.

Kerry wins in the big citys because........

......more people with higher education and an understanding of how the economy and the world work live in the big cities as opposed to those in rural areas.

I'd heard Kerry won 90% of D.C.

LOL, winning 90% of D.C. is the most damning statement of all!

Kerry and Bush evenly split the collage-educated vote with 49% each, Bush killed Kerry on the 50k and up income bracket. So if you went to school, graduated and got a decent job......

They work they just don't pay their share of the bills, they are subsidized by people who earn more.

I believe the original statement was that Kerry covered the large metropolitan areas. Does Washington, D.C. not qualify?

No government employees support big government. They could loose their job if it were reduced.

Here is hoping they go on welfare

D.C. is a shithole, all the people who work in D.C. (politicians, lawyers, staffers, lobbyists and other parasites) live in Maryland or Virginia. D.C. is full of crack heads, in fact they just elected one of their own (Marion Barry) to office - caring D.C. is not something you want to brag about.

[great bear]

Was told about a site that looked at the average IQ by states. I don't have to explain which cadidate won the lower average IQ states do I?

 

[papasmerf]
