| 2. The country, not the south. |

Even in the rest of the country, most of rural America went red.
Even in the deep south, most of the cities went blue.
County by county, McCain won *far* more land area than Obama did; it was just that it was all land area where nobody lives.
The big difference between the "red states" and the "blue states" is how many of the population live in cities.
