One more map
Can't resist this one. This map, from the Mass. Institute for a New Commonwealth, shows the U.S. broken down into 10 equal voting regions. It's fascinating that Maine is lumped in with the mid-to-western states (Sagebrush) and that southeast Florida joins the western borders (El Norte) and not the Southern Lowlands or Southern Comfort areas. It's part of a larger report called Beyond Red and Blue. There's also an article in the Boston Globe by the author of the report. (Via Daily Kos.)
These maps are starting to remind me of Joel Garreau's 1981 book The Nine Nations of North America (the link leads to an excerpt/interview in PDF format) in which he declared Miami part of 'The Islands':
...In Miami this is affecting everything because these $100 bills are coming home and buying shopping centers and office buildings. It's affecting the entire economy." posted by liz at 2:08 PM
