Actually, Jay's map does tell us a great deal about the vote.

First, it's not "Jay's map" -- it was published by USA Today.

Jay has apparently managed to convince himself that the extent of a
candidate's mandate is better measured by the number of *acres* that
voted
for the candidate than by the number of *people* that voted for the
candidate. When he stays the "country" overwhelmingly supported Bush,
he's
referring to the country's landmass rather than its population.

The map shows many things. First, the vast majority of citizens with
old-fashioned American values voted for Bush. Having worked and lived in big
cities for the majority of my life, I can vouch for the fact that very
little of traditional America survives in the mindless, soulless wasteland
of the inner cities. The fact that these areas recurrently (and
dim-wittedly) vote for any Democrat that runs means little to me. Or to the
Electoral College. Or to the Supreme Court.

The vast majority of productive Americans voted for Bush.
