Hm. I see blue New Orleans (79.3% for Obama). We've been described as a blueberry in a bowl of strawberries. Looks like Atlanta is a bigger blueberry now.
I looked a little closer, and he has some problems. His numbers must still be "provisional", because Kings County, NY is showing red. As in, McCain.
There are not that many orthodox in Brooklyn. Also, other outlets show it going 79-20 for Obama, bluer than neighboring Queens County (74-25).
Also, he's using 2000 Census data for populations. I know it comes in a nice, easy-to-read format... but 9 years does change things a little. NOLA's population has nearly been halved in that time, and the housing boom has certainly shifted some people around.
Hey! I can see my house from here! That big blue dot about a third of the way from the left, and half way down is Dallas! It's much more bright blue brother to the SW is Austin! There was speculation Tarrant County (Fort Worth) might vote blue for the first time since Carter.
Sheesh - Don't I even get some gank credit?
No. I don't play that circle-jerk.
Dang - I credit you with stuff that's not even yours!
I personally like to credit him with Ruining Christmas.
See Colin Slash did that.
JWZ invented the internut.
...and gummi worms.
When have you EVER seen him with a gummi worm?
I thought he showed it to ALL the girls!
INAPPROPRIATE.
Thank god for portion control...
Thanks for posting it. I had already found that, but I was too lazy to actually post about it.
Any good reason you used the trilinear-color-scale version?
It's prettier!

He's using census data from 2000 for population figures, so your blueberry is nearly twice as big as it should be.
A handy guide to vacationing in Texas is to only go to the blue parts of the state. That's where we have the civilization.
It looks kind of like those false-color pictures of a clogged artery.
It looks like a birdie!
