15. Oh, I agree.

You'll find that I actually really enjoy coming up with strategy and what-not, rather than just raging against these people.

But the idea they try to promote with this map, that somehow Bush* has a huge mandate based on the fact that the counties where he leads take up a lot of space, is lame. It tries to hide the real margin between the candidates, which was close. It's actually could be interpreted as being disparaging to our system of democracy in a way - does it imply that people who own the most land should have more of a say? It actually wouldn't even be effective at promoting that idea, since we don't know how much of that space is public or corporate-owned land!
