geographical yes
地理上
counties to me it's a...
我認為最重要的縣...
the big story at a fine scale geographical analysis is suburban Denver, suburban Washington D.C.
從地理上來看這次大選中最關鍵的變化在 丹佛郊縣 華盛頓特區郊縣
and Orlando and Tampa Bay in Florida
奧蘭多 和佛羅里達的坦帕灣
those areas were enough really to shift the election
這些區域足以扭轉這次大選的結果
if you take those as a whole
如果你將這些區域的變化看作整體
with Virginia, with Colorado and Florida going in the Democratic campaign
他們使弗吉尼亞 科羅拉多和佛州 被民主黨收入囊中
so I think that's key
我認為是非常關鍵的
most interesting to me is Indiana
對我而言最有趣的州是印第安納
I'll say Indianan on the one side
除了印第安納州
and Arkansas and Tennessee on the other
還有阿肯色和田納西的選情
that is just sort of the most compelling issue
他們的選情對我來說非常吸引
one I would like to look at more
我很想深入的了解
figure out why, why this has happened in Indiana
找出到底為什么 為什么印第安納的選情會出現這樣的變化
I don't think anyone is gonna do it
可能沒人會去研究其中的原因
no one really does this kind of research
沒人做過相關的研究
a kind of research that involves knowing a state at a real personal level
深入的研究 把一個州的選情和它自身的特殊性結合起來
knowing the culture, knowing the different cities
了解它的文化 以及不同城市的情況
it's not much that anyone really does
很少人會做這項工作
there are some political geographers, some political scientists
雖然有很多政治地理學家 政治科學家
but not usually that level of analysis
但他們都沒進行過這個層次的研究
it just hasn't done not as much

that's what I'd like to know more about
但我對此很想有更深入的了解
is there question in the front?

你說的很好
noting the use by the Obama campaign of Facebook, other Internet sites
我們注意到奧巴馬在競選中運用了臉書和網站等網絡工具
contrasting that the McCain campaign were certainly
對比之下麥凱恩陣營
suggests were made that John McCain didn't really pretty include
很多人都認為 他沒有運用好這些工具
there's a lot of jokes made about that
有很多關于這個問題的笑話在流傳
one interesting thing I found is sort of the spontaneous YouTube videos
我注意到一個有趣的事情是 YouTube上有些網友自制的視頻
they are not made by the campaigns
不是由競選陣營制作的助選視頻
they are made by individuals
通常是個人自發制作的
but they circulate very rapidly
但是流傳得非常快
I don't know how much of an impact that had
我不知道這些視頻會不會起到一些作用
but this is something new under the sun
但這是世界范圍內掀起的新浪潮
something that sort of viral campaigning if you will at a very grassroot level
通過網絡的方式來達到競選的目的受眾都是很平民的階層
both sides use it
兩黨都用了這種手段
but certainly most analysts would say it was the Democratic side
但很多分析者都認為民主黨從中(受益更多)
and of course young people are so much more savvy and sophisticated than people of my generation on these sort of issues
年輕人顯然對網絡運用比我這代的人更為嫻熟和精明 尤其是這些新事物上
