If you want to be reassured that the country isn't split apart, look at this Purple Map of the USA. Very few states can truly be called "red." Almost no states can truly be called "blue." Nice work, J B Culver.

If you want to be depressed about it, look at the The New York Times's county-by-county blue-vs.-red model. Basically the big urban centers voted overwhelmingly for Kerry, with the exception of Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City, Houston and Dallas.
