Some U. S. Mudcatters have questioned the value of the Electoral College. USA Today printed a very interesting map in color that you might like to check out. It is a map in color of the United States showing the counties in each state carried by Al Gore and George Bush.

Many of you will not check this out because of the address of the website where it is reproduced. The website address is www.rushlimbaugh.com.

If you do access the website, I am not urging any of you to do anything other than to look at the very interesting map. I would not want you to read information, or opinions, that is not available to you in the liberal U. S. press. Jeeze, no telling what it might do to you!

For those of you who do not access the site, I will merely tell you that the map shows that Gore carried 677 counties in the United States. Bush carried 2,434. The land mass represented in those counties: Gore, 580k square miles; Bush, 2,427k square miles.

Much has been made of Gore winning the popular vote. The map indicates that the majority of those who voted for him lived in America's major cities.
