Like it or not, it is still winner-take-all. The popular vote can be split almost dead even in a county, but the candidate who receives the most votes wins. Period. Same at the state level.<br /><br />Elections are a sport, a game, a competition if you will. Not an activity. If there were nothing at stake, we wouldn't keep score (i.e. counting votes). And as with any competition, the player with the highest score wins.<br /><br />So the whole "gee, we're really purple, not red and blue" is irrelevant to who won a particular election. But if it makes you Dems feel better, then so be it. Yes, Virginia, I guess we are a purple nation. <br /><br /><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A>AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555947.post-1100727043194251852004-11-17T14:30:00.000-07:002004-11-17T14:30:00.000-07:00Some great maps here!
