HI: Looks like Romney won a couple of precincts where there are CDP's - What about Kawela Bay, Kahuku, and Schofield Barracks

TN: The Knox. News Sentinel reported that Obama won Knoxville by 3,000 votes - though that only covered majority-city precincts.  The precinct boundaries are relatively close to the city boundaries, though there could be enough exceptions to put Romney over the top, but I do not have enough knowledge of Knox Co. to say for sure.  If I had to guess, I'd say Obama won Knoxville 800-1,000 votes.

The next candidate would be Clarksville.  Using DRA, the 2008 results are very very close, with a slight Obama win.  With a 2.4% swing for the county, its likely that Romney won Clarksville.

Why on earth is there any connection between taxes and church membership?

Gruel  (would have voted for Kevin James in the initial election)

Good work! Just out of interest, how long did it take for you to make that map?

Used DRA - about an hour.  It would be really difficult to tell where the USIP vs. Tory would break down.

Is there a swingometer somewhere to guess how many seats the parties would get with these numbers?

Truman made the right call.

Huntsman

I don't think Ms. Schafly is suggesting that the GOP reach out to urban liberals - I think she is under the impression that there is a giant bloc of whites who would show up to vote if only the party were to adopt all of her positions.

Labour Party, because of the "New Labour" faction of the party.

Since when has being broke and deeply in debt stopped either political party from spending money they don't have?

I can understand how people wouldn't want to add anything to something as natural as water.  If the concern stopped there, I could even get behind that thought.

What I don't get is why there is so much hostility to facts, logic, and reason on the extremes of the political spectrum.  If the "establishment" you are fighting against is monied corporate interests or an over-reaching government or the military-industrial complex, go ahead and fight the power.  But since when did the "establishment" become the fields of science, history, and public health?

RNC: Memphis, TN
DNC: Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, Antartica

I'm sure this is gonna tighten up, but... I'm getting kinda excited for my BC Libs right now.

Huffington post has a live map: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/05/14/bc-election-results-2013-live-map_n_3265711.html

NDP believes they will have around 53 seats

Christy Clark (BC Liberal)

Impeached sure, but then we should have elected him to Congress from South Carolina a few months later.

Australia: Liberal
Austria: OVP
Belgium: CD&V or CdH, perhaps Open VLD
Canada: Conservative
            Alberta: PC
            British Columbia: BC Liberal
            Sask: Sask. Party
            Quebec: Liberal
            Yukon: Yukon Party
Denmark: Venstre
Finland: National Coalition
France: UMP
Germany: CDU
Greece: ND
Iceland: Independence
Italy: People of Freedom or Civic Choice
Ireland: Fine Gael

Netherlands: CDU, maybe VVD
New Zealand: National
Norway: Conservative
Portugal: PSD
South Africa: Democratic Alliance

On the compass I got:

Con: 61%
Lib: 60%
NDP: 50%
Grn: 42%

I'd vote BC Liberal.

Yes!  I had a crush on Buttercup.

Republicans are just as "scary" ("terrifying" might be a better word, though) on economic issues as they are on social ones.

That's what's difficult for me about all of this talk about change.  Though I've generally been moderate socially (except quite conservative on abortion), I worry about completely disconnecting ourselves from religious values.  I'll take people who might misinterpret, but at least profess to follow, the words of Jesus Christ over those who follow Ayn Rand any day of the week.

Freedom for gays may be close at hand, but freedom for the poor seems to be further away than ever.

I tried splitting California into 3 parts - North, Central, and South - and the results are roughly the same for each state.  The South is a little more GOP and the North a little more Dem, but all 3 still go Dem.
