Belated Quick Facts About The Election The MSM Will Never Report....

Picked up from numerous sources although difficult to confirm this particular source I confirmed the numbers individually in numerous different places, and do not much refutation of it online anywhere. Snopes checked an similar one done in 2000 just the pertinent numbers then and it was found accurate so this one likely is as well

Nonetheless it's interesting and likely true just by confirming the main numbers provided as I've done....mostly from here and here..

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Democrats: 20; Republicans: 30

Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000; Republicans: 2,427,000 Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million; Republicans: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2; Republicans: 2:1

Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in rented or government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...'

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with 40% nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase

Here's another county by county picture which is pretty glaring as is the one below..

Popular vote by county. Red represents counties that went for McCain, Blue represents counties that went for Obama. Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont had all counties go to Obama. Oklahoma had all counties go to McCain.
