This one shows what the US electoral map would look like if only people 18-29 got to vote. Why should this make you happy? Because old people die, and young people take over control.
I never liked Tennessee... specifically while driving through the eastern part on I-40 near Knoxville in the middle of the night during freezing rain... those hills are murder.
I understand that young people are more idealistic (read liberal) than their older counterparts, but what about the young people of Maine? Why are they more conservative?
Besides, this is all based on exit polling, which we all know is questionable at best.
I grew up in Maine but now I live in Oregon as does my brother. I think the only people who stay in Maine have to for one reason or another (this is based on my own bias, not in any fact that I know of). People may go there to retire. There's not much to do there.
Yeah, but when young people take over they become old people. Old, cranky, tax-paying, gas-guzzling, safer-streetsing people. It's the Circle of Life(tm).

Re: I saw that...
Date: 2004-11-05 03:03 pm (UTC)It is?
Date: 2004-11-05 09:55 pm (UTC)Anyway, I sure am curious what the map would look like after they actually did compile all the results...

Date: 2004-11-05 03:16 pm (UTC)Take my brother for example. When he turns 40[*], he's going straight, 'cos old gay men are just depressing (his words, not mine).[**]
[*]It was 30, but he's celebrating his 27th birthday this year...
[**] He did say that, but he wasn't serious. I think.

So I won't.
