The Map

Here is the college. Think of it what you may. There are some interesting takes: McCain's largest % take for any given electoral area (I say area because of D.C.) was 66% (OK.), while Obama's was 93% (D.C. itself). Obama's largest actual state take was Hawai'i at 72%.  And in California Obama took in more votes (61% of CA.) than McCain did if you combine the totals he won for 13 of the states. Considering that McCain won only 21-22 states, that is an impressive take in California for Obama (and a good argument to keep the college in place). I am proud of the last two states I have chosen to live in... California, and more recently Hawai'i. They have done right by me, and the world in their voting.
