Election result maps often do a very bad job of representing actual vote outcomes because they use a georgphic scale to represent something that isn't truly determined by geography. Think how Greenland seems as large as Africa on many maps, compared to how much power Greenland would have politically. this site attempts to do a better job of explaining the CA Gov. election outcome visually.

Americans Use Media Far More Than They Realize: Television, at 4.5 hours a day, is the most used medium. 4.5 HOURS. A DAY.

That's an additional part time job. That's enough time to learn a foreign language in a year. That's enough time to train for a marathon. That's lunacy! (And, even scarier, what are they all watching?)
