Perhaps Gary Johnson would be an interesting alternative. Although there
is nothing better than Obama in my opinion: his humble beginnings are
the proof that America is not ruled by a small number of super rich
families.

Jochen,
I was deep intrigued by the more detailed maps that were produced to
go along with the 2008 elections. I suspect Pinker is trying to explain a not
real phenomenon (such is often my impression with Pinker, but that's another
discussion). Take for example the "purple" graph at the bottom of this article:

Our country is not as geographically fractured as the talking heads want us to
think.
Eric
P.S. I have a nice Gary Johnson sign outside my house.

I have the impression that the list has become a bit quiet in the last
weeks. Are you involved in a campaign for one of the candidates? New
Mexico is a blue state, so most of you will be for President Obama. For
a European, it is hard to understand why one would make a different
choice anyway. What is your opinion on the presidential election?
Steven Pinker recently wrote a nice article why states are so red and
blue. Do you agree?
