Remarkable how well it lines up with counties that voted for Bush.

Cheap real estate (which usually equates to lots of driving) is a very strong predictor of votes for Bush.

I was just thinking how remarkable it was that where gas prices mattered less, votes lined up for Kerry.

Interesting that those that see high gas prices as a natural way towards a higher-evolved energy system are those who have the least skin in the game.

Not especially. It's mostly just an urban-rural thing.
