For a real eye-opener about the political makeup of the United States, check out this county-by-county vote map published by USA Today.

Although a few counties remain to be counted (only those counties where 100% of the precincts have reported totals were included in the map), counties won by President Bush currently comprise 3.28 million square miles of land. Kerry’s counties constitute 741,000 square miles.

In other words, measuring by land, President Bush carried 82% of the country, while John Kerry took 18%.
