That mirrors the population in general that can read.

More than half of the "blue" books are bought by conservatives for opposition research.

Good point. the reverse isn't true. Libs having to be confronted with conservative perspectives is like soap to a hippy.

Only four states bought more blue books than red books? I hope that is an omen. That reminds me of the election 1952 map. Wow.

Edit: On the side it had books written by VP's. There was Joe Biden's 'Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics', and Paul Ryan's 'Young Guns' (Co-written with Eric Cantor). Young Guns has 95% of the sales, and Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics has 5% of the sales.  :lmao:
