Revision as of 20:29, 6 February 2008

Guam

Nice graphic, but why isn't Guam listed? --StuffOfInterest (talk) 15:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just added it. CoolKid1993 (talk) 23:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Again, very nice graphic. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 13:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DC?

I hesitate to criticize a finer piece of work than I could produce, but this map (and its Republican equivalent) is missing DC. Not sure if it would be best to have it on the main map or floating next to the other territories in the Atlantic (given its small size), but it should be there.

Also, does anyone know if the N. Marianas Islands hold caucuses or primaries? --Jfruh (talk) 00:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I do not think that the Northern Marianas Islands have any delegates. Though I may be wrong. CoolKid1993 (talk) 02:02, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just found out that only the Republicans have a primary in the Northern Mariana Islands. CoolKid1993 (talk) 01:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why DC is floating around in the top right corner when it is in fact physically part of the contiguous United States? --- Rogsheng (talk) 06:42, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's small enough that if it were depicted to scale in its proper geographic location, it would be borderline invisible, and certainly impossible to distinguish from MD or VA if it were the same color. Perhaps there should be some visual sign that it represents an inset map? --Jfruh (talk) 15:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, DC should be swapped with American Samoa and there should be lines pointing to DC's location on the larger map similar to this image. ~ PaulC/T+ 21:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Source? vector version?

How is the image made and could a vector version (SVG) be uploaded so that future editors can update/change the map also? ~ PaulC/T+ 01:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I drew this image in CorelDRAW, and I would be more than happy to export it as an SVG if it gave me the option to do so. Is there a similar file format that is supported as an uploadable file type that wouldn't reduce the quality and allow other people ammend the image other than SVG?

NV?

Should it be red for Clinton (who won the popular vote) or blue for Obama (who won the most delegates)? Of course it's coloured elsewhere by the popular vote, even where there were ties on delegates (MI, NH). —Ashley Y 01:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kucinich

As Kucinich has dropped out, he should be removed, no? john k (talk) 18:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Percentage of vote"

"Percentage of vote" is incorrect, it should be "percentage of county delegates". —Ashley Y 01:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not for every state, it varies. "Based on percentage of votes" is probably the most inclusive way to phrase it, maybe vote percentage?. The capitalization should be changed to reflect WP:MOS ("Democratic primary results, 2008"; "Based on vote percentage") ~ PaulC/T+ 00:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Font

Is there a compelling reason to use a font that doesn't distinguish between the letters t, i, and f? 128.84.0.173 (talk) 03:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Gravel?

Isn't it a bit pointless having Mike Gravel in the legend? He is polling 0% in all states and is plainly not a viable candidate. Even in his home state of Alaska, he has failed to garner a single delegate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.1.199.107 (talk) 12:21, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Under that logic, you might as well add me, too since I'm running for President.
