As an almost final word on the elections, here’s an interesting map from the Courant showing who voted for whom, town by town, and which towns switched from being a red town to a blue town.

Obama and the Evangelicals
How many did he really reach? Not as many as one might have thought in the months leading up to November 4. Says Time:
And yet despite the inroads Obama made with religious constituencies, there is one voting bloc that remains largely unmoved by Obamamania: white Evangelicals. One-quarter of them voted for Obama on Tuesday — despite a warning from conservative columnist Janet Porter that they could be risking their eternal souls by doing so — an improvement on John Kerry’s dismal showing in 2004. But against a candidate like McCain, who is famously disliked by many Evangelicals, in a campaign in which Democrats engaged in a record level of outreach to Evangelicals, and at a time when the Evangelical community is expanding its consciousness to focus on traditionally Democratic issues like the environment and poverty, this would have been the year for a real shift of support to take place. So why didn’t that happen?

Watch this teacher, said to be from Asheville, North Carolina, verbally terrorize a young child. We should never wonder why people are so distrustful of, and disgusted by, the public schools in so many places across the nation. Over-the-top politicking and social engineering – it has to stop. (From a Swedish doumentary.)
