    Maybe you can explain that to the uninitiated.

    •  Do you mean for this map or in general? (0+ / 0-)

      For this map it's Obama blue, Clinton red, Edwards green.

      Where they dominated, they get the shading.

      •  What type of data? (0+ / 0-)

        What type of data are we talking about here? (I think thats his question, forgive me if I'm wrong MadS)  Is it nominal data(straight numbers)?  or (hopefully not) ratio data(percentage)?

        •  Ratio data. (0+ / 0-)

          The straight numbers (as in exact number of votes) are not available for several caucus states, and if I were to make such a map, the cities would be much lighter than the rural areas (and I would be using a logarhythmic scale).

          I did do a map that was weighted based upon Kerry voters in 2004, which you can find here.
