2008 Super Duper Tsunami Tuesday Primary And Caucus Results Maps & Haiku

Here's one post with all your primary election map needs, and some haiku as well. There are no maps for Kansas, New Mexico, North Dakota, or Alaska, as those states reported results by CD rather than county or town.

Alabama	Arizona	Arkansas
High polarization Obama peels off one third of whites to win big.	Clinton locks in votes thanks to mail-in balloting. Barack can't catch her.	Bubba Clinton's Wife Wins all but the river valley Good reasons for choice.
California	Colorado	Connecticut
Humboldt? Santa Cruz? Pot smokers for Obama! Hill big in LA.	Obama wins huge, but pundits think caucuses aren't important.	Clinton-Obama Eerily similar to Lieberman-Lamont
Delaware	Georgia	Idaho
Just three lil' counties. Can't resist Wayne's World ref': "Hi. I'm in Delaware"	Two fifths of whites vote for Obama. "The city too busy to hate"	You cannot stop the Obamentum. You can't even hope to contain it.
Illinois	Massachusetts	Minnesota
Obama's "home" state. Downstate prefers Hillary, but only a bit.	Clinton runs strong in Working-class regions. Is it Town-and-gown conflict?	Not just Twin Cities go for Barack. Wins easy in the Frozen North
Missouri	New Jersey	New York
Whites more pro-Bama than in 'Bama, Tennessee, or Oklahoma.	"Home"-state favorite? Or yet more blue-collar love? Clinton wins by ten.	Clinton everywhere. Brooklyn, City exurbs close Hard to be surprised
Oklahoma	Tennessee	Utah
Oklahoma City Pink island surrounded by an ocean of green	Whites strong for Hill not enough post-racial 'burbs to get Barack close.	A pretty picture Barack wins SLC big Can't discern much else

Wow, what a lot of work, and it's greatly appreciated. Of course it could have been done quicker, cheaper and more directly suited to my idiosyncratic personal needs. Plus ice cream and a pony. Many people will be poring over these quite a bit, I'm sure.

One issue: In Firefox, the display cuts off the rightmost column of maps. It looks fine in Internet Explorer 7.

I was kind of amazed to learn this, but you may wish to correct your Washington state map, since it appears that Obama won all counties. HRC was given one due to a tabulation/transcription error

or if that cuts off and I can link, then here is a link
Great job, Nick, and thanks for it.

I think I've fixed the CSS/display issues. And thanks for the bit about Washington State.

WOW, Nick, brilliant work (and I love the poet's touch--thank you for that).

*huge round of applause*

[riffle]

Yes, Nick, your tweaking fixed the display issue in Firefox 2.0.0.12. and the fix persists at all browser widths.

Thanks again.

This is awesome work. This reader is very, very grateful to you. I imagine others are as well. And the poetry is, if not quite transcendent, pretty great. Seriously, thanks.

You really haven't slept for days have you? Whatever were you drinking last night? I've got to get me some that.

This is, by far, the coolest thing I've seen in primaries coverage.

I especially liked the Delaware and Georgia haikus, too.

p.s. Do you take requests? I would love to see how the Democrats Abroad Global Primary looks on a map!

[Nicholas Beaudrot]

I don't know if there's going to be any sort of regional report for Democrats Abroad.

Chaz: I slept plenty over the past week ... I just held of publishing these until all at once.

These are terrific. Can you update with more recent primary results, as well? (Specifically, I think you could get some pretty awesome puns out of the "Potomac Primary" results).
