Perhaps it's just me, but I fail to see the point the red/blue map is trying to make. So long as there's a Senate and an Electoral College, the state boundaries matter. And the resolution is not good enough to make the urban/suburban distinction: Boston and Manhattan don't appear any more dense than the outlying suburbs.

Although it does a nice job of showing the dividing line at about 98 degrees west longitude, a dividing line that I think will be increasingly important politically in the future. Overlay a map that shows the availability of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar, and they are on the other side of that line from the vast bulk of the population.

Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.
