Purple America

Go to http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/JAVA/election2004/ for an interesting map of the 2004 Presidential election results by County, mixed in the proportions of red and blue as the County voted. It shows a more accurately diverse America than the simple red and blue State maps.

If you are planning a marketing trip to show off your newly purchased $28 million 10 year old grilled cheese sandwich with the image of the Virgin Mary, however, you would use the red and blue State map and take it on tour to a dozen red States, as indicated in this article: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/041125/dcth016_1.html
