Amazon Election 2008 Interactive Map

Posted on September 12, 2008 07:30 PM by Joel Comm

Here's a cool find.

Do the books your fellow countrymen are reading indicate which way their vote may be leaning?

You'll be fascinated as you explore Amazon's Election 2008 Interactive map.

Simply visit the site and you are presented with a United States map color-coded to the current political leanings, based on the titles that are being ordered by people living within each state.

Red is for Republican. Blue is for Democrat.

It's not surprising to see states like California and New York leaning blue, but it is surprising to see so many states leaning solid or somewhat red.

Is this the Palin effect?

    Correction: Based on this map .... if readers are leaders AND voters ..... McCain-Palin should win!

    Leaders? Most people are unfortunately reading Jerome Corsi's Obama Nation which has been proven to be a pack of lies. http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/corsis_dull_hatchet.html

    The rest are reading probably another pack of lies in the Sarah Palin book.

    Republicans like to scare their constituents who believe that an opposing candidate will steal their bibles and eat their children. Yup I'm afraid that I believe it is that easy to motivate some of my fellow christian Americans.
