"It won't kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires. It really won't, I don't think. I don't really understand why Republicans don't take Obama's offer. Really?

The first map is the population density map of the counties of the United States. To put it simply, it shows where the most people live. The darker the color the county is colored, the more people live there. The second map is another county map showing where Mitt Romney won the largest percentage of the vote. Notice a correlation? Go here for interactive versions of these maps, and also maps showing where Obama won the largest percentage.

Scott Farris. author of Almost President, a history of failed presidential candidates, told the Washington Post that Mitt Romney's concession speech didn't reflect the urgency of healing a divided nation: "While he congratulated Obama, he never really validated the result by saying 'the people have spoken' ... Praying for the president is nice, but it is not the same as validating the election. [...] It was a speech that sounded as if he did not emerge from the election with much respect, let alone affection, for the president. He sounded as if he really expected to win and was immensely disappointed in the result -- even more so than usual." Oh well, the feeling is mutual.
