We've gone Map Crazy, part II!
Last week, we admitted to going a little Map Crazy!
Apparently, we aren't the only ones. Since that post, some 40,000+
map freaks per day have perused our humble little cartographic collection our sister blog, essays & effluvia.
Well, Democracy is all about giving the people what they want. Apparently, what they want is more maps, dammit.
Who am I to stand in the way of a popular uprising? Here's the latest batch:

I suspect this will be it for map madness. If I have overlooked any truly outstanding maps of interest -- kindly send a note to thebigpicture -at- optonline -dot- net .

The maps are a real resource for analysis. Thanks for posting them.
One stat to think about: Kerry and Bush split the women's vote here in Ohio.
If Kerry had benefited from the gender gap seen in previous elections, Ashcroft and Evans still would have resigned, but for different reasons.
