Post-election links
Really cool cartograms of the 2004 result. I think all the doom-and-gloom is way overdone, these should be somewhat reassuring to many.
Gay-marriage referendums had no effect on the US presidential vote.
Dem-ographic decline: Up until 1980, the States Kerry won would have been a majority in the Electoral College.
When reading post-election commentary such as this, apply a simple test - does it stand up to Kerry doing much better than McGovern in 1972, Mondale in 1984 and Dukakis in 1988? On the other hand, Kerry-Nader did do less well than Gore-Nader. Via kenshi.
Looking at the parallels between McKinley in 1900 and Dubya. Perhaps it runs the parallels a little too hard? The author responds.
