For Purple Country Majesty

[heidi]

Oh, God, I am crying again just *thinking* about listening to America The Beautiful!



Thanks to bbennett for the linkage.

I think I will need many, many boxes of tissues in January. And speaking of January and Inauguration (and my birthday!) - check out 01202009 - for inauguration planning in Washington, and also for planning/organizing Viewing Parties around the country and around the world. Honestly, this might work better as a wiki, and I'm talking to a friend about that, but in case it doesn't work, is anyone interested in helping me set it up? New banner for [Unknown site tag] coming soon, thanks to sff_corgi (email re lunch tomorrow coming to you soon!).

Sorry about the multiple posts before - they were supposed to go to 01202009 but the post-to got switched on the screen and I didn't notice. Alas. They've all been moved to the comm now, except the tour-ish one.

ETA: Oooh! Off to check out info at CHANGE.GOV. A change will do us good!

This page has the Purple America map, with (states and) counties depicted in sizes depicting their population - and that's why I'm a city boy.

Is it just me, or does the purple cartogram look like a phoenix?

[wendywoowho.livejournal.com]

I am!

I was talking to my mother, who lives in ultra-conservative Kansas, and we were gaping over the fact that Obama garnered 43% of the vote there this year. o.O

There were a couple of years where in my entire town, my mother and I counted for 50% of the democratic vote. This year, 39% of the entire town went blue.

I love that the tiny blue dot just east of Atlanta is my county. Yay for university towns and all their liberal elite residents!

Mine too! Barak Obama will be inaugurated on my 24 birthday, which will go a long way to make up for the shitty gift of another Bush term I got on 20th brithday.

Obama's being inaugurated on my 23rd birthday. Go figure!
