Some unreported stats about the 2008 election

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota ,

points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:



-Number of States won by: Democrats: 20; Republicans: 30

-Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000; Republicans: 2,427,000

-Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million; Republicans: 143 million

-Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2; Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was

mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens. Democrat territory mostly

encompassed those citizens living in rented or government-owned tenements and

living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency

and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty

percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental

dependency" phase.
