Ever since the 2004 election, the terms Red State and Blue State have entered our popular lexicon. Red State and Blue State pre-election polls and final electoral results were superbly tracked on the web site http://www.electoral-vote.com (maintained by Andrew Tanenbaum... yes, the Andrew Tanenbaum).
There is a lot of very interesting data on the web site, but my favorite is a graph of red and blue counties. I think the county graph is even more telling about the political (and other) divisions in our country than the graph of the states. Check out the number of red counties inside blue states such as California and New York.
