New York Times 2008 Blue counties voted for Obama
Dave Tucker alerted me to this and apparently it is making the rounds so I am helping spread it as well. The original observation of southern voting patterns linked to the former Cretaceous shoreline was noted by Steven Dutch back in 2002 ( http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/Research/Elec2000/GeolElec2000.HTM). Craig McClain follows up (ttp://deepseanews.com/2012/06/how-presidential-elections-are-impacted-by-a-100-million-year-old-coastline/).
Ha Ha, funny coincidence.
