Oh, very interesting, so there's a big natural gas field, of course there's a big boom in natural gas right now
很有意思，（堪萨斯）有一个很大的天然气田，的确现在天然气的产量正在激增
That's going to be again as probably while a lot of the Hispanics have moved into that corner of Kansas
也许这又会再次吸引很大的西班牙裔前往堪萨斯务工
It's for this burgeoning natural gas industry
被蓬勃发展的天然气工业吸引过去
You can also even see some Wyoming counties, now with large Hispanic population
在一些怀俄明的县虽然现在的西班牙裔人口还不多
that could well be the same thing going on there, because Wyoming centered going a huge energy boom
但也正在吸引越来越多的西班牙裔劳工，因为怀俄明将会大力发展能源产业
Usually it's going to be you see agricultural counties in eastern Washington, major Metro Areas as well, so thanks for bringing that up
我想趋势是这样的，他们还分布在华盛顿东部的农业县和一些都会区，谢谢你的补充
Let's move on to the eastern 2/3 of the country
让我们继续介绍剩下2/3的东部州
There is a few things I want to note on this map
这幅地图有几点要特别说一些

We talked about Austin Texas here
之前我们讲过德州奥斯丁的选情
Otherwise we can see a sizable area, a very heavily Republican voting zone in Nebraska
我们再来看内布拉斯加，大片的深红色区域
Especially the only county in Nebraska that were gone for Kerry is on the American-Indian Reservation
当中只有一个县04年时支持了克里，这个县就是印第安人保护区所在地
Kansas we do have Lawrence, Kansas University of Kansas and we have Kansas City, Kansas as well as Kansas City in Missouri
堪萨斯泛蓝的有劳伦斯市，堪萨斯大学所在地，还有堪萨斯城以及密苏里的卡萨斯城
Otherwise it's a very large swath there, Oklahoma not a single county voting for the Democratic candidate
除此之外是一片红色的海洋，俄克拉荷马没有一个县支持民主党候选人
That was true in Utah, I don't know if it's true, I have to check if there are any other states where that's true
在犹他州也是，我不确定是不是，我要查一下还有没其他州也全部泛红
It used to be the south-western, excuse me, south-eastern Oklahoma which is the poor part of the state more American-Indian
过去俄克拉荷马西南部，不好意思，东南部过去很贫困且住着很多印第安人
that used to be very Democratic voting, no more and actually I saw poll today that showed Oklahoma as McCain having the largest lead of any states
过去极为倾向民主党，现在没有了，我今天看的民意调查显示俄克拉荷马州是麦凯恩领先最多的州
