XKCD has a nice graphic about the red/blue history of the congress which shows the impacts of various events
http://www.xkcd.com/1127/

I have heard that in some states (Nebraska for instance) some people really fear that their souls go straight to hell if they vote for the democrats, although Obama is the best president the US had for a long time, and his actions are in deep agreement with true Christian values such as charity and care. How backwards is America's heartland?

Since you bring up the election, Jochen, see the attached graph for some
interesting correlations.  Equally interesting is that the impact of the
second and third debates are indiscernible.

I have the impression that the list has become a bit quiet in the last
weeks. Are you involved in a campaign for one of the candidates? New Mexico
is a blue state, so most of you will be for President Obama. For a
European, it is hard to understand why one would make a different choice
anyway. What is your opinion on the presidential election?

Steven Pinker recently wrote a nice article why states are so red and
blue. Do you agree?
