Submitted by Buddha on Mon, 09/21/2009 - 17:13 Wage map: Income by state. Electoral map: State's Presidential preference map. Strong correlation between wage and blueness. You'd think all those high wage earners would be tea baggers! Guess not. Amazingly close overlap. (Also holds up well for US Senators and Congressmen.) State spending on education map. More strong correlation. A stranger would look at this map and conclude what?
