I would disagree with their regions, most of them are in effect gerrymandered and are often historically and geographically innacurate.

Good idea, bad practice.

BTW
The "Tennessee regions" is very good.

They look gerrymandered to me!

More than anything else I dislike the names of their regions: the choice of the name Appalachia to include the Atlanta Suburbs, the Mississippi part of the Mississippi delta and lots of low ground... whilst omitting Pittsburgh is historically, geographically, economically and politically stupid(what has Logan county WV got in common with Cobb county GA anyway???)

Some of the analysis is shoddy(and quite snobbish in parts) but in comparison to much of the media coverage is high quality...

This disturbs me.

I think it is based on black population as the Cajun area of LA is in "Southern Comfort" and has a low % of black people(for Lousiania)

I'm guessing that they haven't looked at a physical map of the Eastern U.S for a while...
