but if you look at Missouri here
但你可以在這幅地圖中看到密蘇里
yes is really amazing pattern you have St. Louis City and St. Louis County and you have Kansas City and not much else
它的選情非常奇特 幾乎只有圣路易所在的圣路易斯縣 以及堪薩斯城是泛藍的
Missouri now is about neck and neck
現在在密蘇里兩黨幾乎不相上下
even places like Columbia which is not quite as dark red university town again went in this last election Republican

count second most important country music center

farm counties up here a little more purple in orientation
這里是一些農業縣 顏色有點泛紫 較中立
but if you could see the population map you'll see that St. Louis and Kansas City and their suburbs are really pretty dominant
不過如果你回看那幅人口地圖 會發現圣路易斯和堪薩斯城 以及它們的城郊 聚集了全州大量的人口
I would suspect in this next election we'll see a few of the counties in the middle going for Obama
我猜在明天將進行的大選中 應該有幾個原先中立的縣會轉向奧巴馬

as Democratic counties and really nothing else
除此之外真的沒別的地方支持共和黨
so Indiana has been very reliably Republican voting for a long time
可見印第安納對共和黨的支持是壓倒性的 長期以來都是這樣
and it shocked a lot of people to see these polls that put the McCain advantage only a couple of percentage points
所以當人們看到民調顯示麥凱恩 僅僅領先對手幾個百分點的時候 感到很驚訝
again you can sort of see on this map suburban counties around Indianapolis had been growing very rapidly
你這地圖上還可以看出 印第安納波利的城郊縣真在疾速增長
sort of extremely Republican
他們極為偏向共和黨

we have been talking a little bit about this on the course website

but it's sort of somewhat inexplicable to me
