Please for to change the colors as now my eyes are bleeding. Thank you. ~~ C®acker 20:12, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
- "#FF999c" and "#999CFF" are a reasonable 'red' and 'blue' background, respectively. --jtltalk 20:23, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

There is a margin, but it doesn't seem earthshattering to me, then again the red bachelors could be all lawyers (no offense Ames), economists, etc... while the blue ones could be all doctors and scientists. MiddleMan 20:53, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Colours
Yes, typical of Americans to get the colours arse about face. Ever wonder why the Soviet Union and China didn't have a blue flags? (No offense meant)

- Who knows how it happened, but those are the colors the nets use to report on the quadrennial voting. And, yes, some of us think it's weird that the right-wing party is colored red. human

- Utterly irrelevant, I don't give a damn about what the official colors of the parties are. If anything I support the current arrangement because it separates the Democratic Party from the far left and prevents the Republicans from having an allergic reaction to the color red.

[edit] % w/Bachelor Degrees
West Virginia is 51st out of 50 states. Heh. That's not because WV folks ain't edjucatid, it's because those with college degrees (excepting degrees in Mining Engineering) wind up having to leave teh state to get teh good jobs. "Open for business" my eye. But see also the 1988 election results, and try that same correlation of votes with college degrees, wherein WV went for Dukakis which is more than can be said for those supposedly true-blue states of California, Vermont, New Jersey, Maryland, or Illinois. Yeah, 1988 baby! Mountaineers may be unejicatid but they ain't stupid. Secret Squirrel 18:38, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

- Yer 22 long rifle is insignificant next to teh power of The Force. Doesn't work on squirlz anyhow. Secret Squirrel 22:00, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Degree figures
In my own sad and pedantic way I noticed that the figures were from 2003 not 2000, and I did a version with the 200 figures (which isn't really very different to be honest) - worth updating? Might try and improve the article generally as well...er...maybe Worm (t | c) 19:39, 22 January 2009 (EST)

[edit] Voter Breakdown Table
I'm not sure how to edit the table, but it appears to be missing an entry for Arkansas. Could someone who is more knowledgeable than me fix it please? JHadenfe (talk) 03:43, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
[edit] No racism intended
I mentioned Jewish people because that was part of the reason it got so much attention; an unusually large number of people in West Palm Beach, an area with a very high Jewish population, accidentally voted for Buchanan, a known anti-Semite. That said, I prefer the wording as it is now, apologies for the misunderstanding. 24.186.49.177 (talk) 00:59, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
