Election 2008

Limbaugh Is A Dumb Stupid

Or more precisely, he's delusional and lying to his listeners again. Here he's describing "all that red" on the county by county map, implying that elections should be decided based on total counties.

Martians? Anyway, here's the map. But I've stripped out the counties with fewer than 50 people per square mile.

That's not to say the voters in these counties don't count. They do! But if you were to give a county of two people the same electoral power as a county of three million, that wouldn't quite be fair, would it? An equivalency would be to eliminate the House of Representatives. With only the Senate remaining, Alaska would have equal legislative power as California.
