The 2008 Election -- Notes and Sources -- IndexOn the night of the 2000 presidential election, Americans watched on television as polling results divided the nation's map into red and blue states. Since then the color divide has become symbolic of a culture war that thrives on stereotypes--pickup-driving red-state Republicans who vote based on God, guns, and gays; and elitist blue-state Democrats woefully out of touch with heartland values. With wit and prodigious number crunching, Andrew Gelman debunks these and other political myths. This expanded edition includes new data and easy-to-read graphics explaining the 2008 election. Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State is a must-read for anyone seeking to make sense of today's fractured political landscape.ElectionsUnited StatesPolitical partiesUnited StatesPresidentsUnited StatesElectionElectionsPolitical partiesPresidentsElection.324.973Gelman Andrew44041MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781196503321Red state, blue state, rich state, poor state1924630UNINA
