"Bush campaign ads using team"

[Sir_Die_alot]

And New York City is, geographically speaking, much smaller than Holland. Does that mean there is proportionally less diversity of opinion? Or even less at all? I don't think that argument makes any sense.

That's my point right there. Small geographic areas that are densly populated where people don't think "the same but the majority of people who live in an area tend to think similarly" (You and eppi left out this very important line when quoting me, I hope it was an oversight and not an attempt to take me out of context). Even with people who disagree there are fundamental cultural agreements that obviously spill into politics. I find it interesting that you, a Canadian, whose country was almost voted to split in 2 not so long ago would argue this point.

As for America go do a google search for "red and blue states". If our elections were held on geographic opinions, Bush would have this in the bag by hundreds of square miles. However birth rates do matter in elections (Breathe Jester, breathe!). On a side note if you ever wondered where our civil war came from; that's it.
