the best chapters

back to reality…

Good morning…

The view out my window this morning in Philadelphia.

Spending some time this morning going over the Electoral maps. It really does look like Obama barely won when you look at this map.

But  Mark Newman (Department of Physics and Center for the Study of Complex Systems, University of Michigan) has spent some time morphing the maps to match population, electoral college votes, county results, and I think most telling is this map which has shades of purple based on the Dem v Rep voting on a map altered by population. The country is not as divided as it sometimes seems.

‎”We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America.” – Barack Obama
