Land Mass for Bush

The state-by-state maps show a preponderance of land mass for Bush.
[See previous: US map scaled by population.]

The total population is close to evenly split between Kerry
and Bush, but Bush's states are big and empty. What's more,
within each state, the populated areas support Kerry, and the
sparse areas lean toward Bush, in accordance with the Retro vs Metro
meme.

The finer we cut the data, the more we observe the phenomena
of Bush's support being strongest on the emptier land masses.

Here's swing state Missouri with NYT polling data:
