ORIGINAL: Greta75 I look at the map and it's all red! If all the states were mini countries, that's alot of countries choosing him! And look at the identical map when Obama won - it was also extremely red. The colour of the areas is irrelevant to a certain degree - only the electoral college votes count. You can win a dozen states with small EC numbers and the winner can win just one area with bigger EC numbers. So hugely red but a loser when it comes to the final determination of EC numbers. So the widespread of red doesn't necessarily depict the support. And incidentally, he won by quite a small margin, not a landslide. Personally, I think it's a huge mistake on a number of fronts. But we will see how it comes out in the wash. Only time will tell.
