 Inset map: world map, AK and HI  Graduated Symbols: population, income, etc.  Aggregating attribute fields: party preference  Creating indices: majority index  Attribute sub-sets selections: color of the state  Boundary sub-sets selections: clip census data according to different locations of states  Geo-processing: clip  Put all variables into attribute table even seems to be irreverent at the very beginning Utilized Skills and Experience 16

Proposal for Final Presentation  Use other dependent variables, for example ethnocentrism, instead of demographic ones.  Use the data from ANES or similar surveys whose subjects are potential voters instead of census data, because the largest single group of Americans is those who don’t vote at all.  Try to use more methods of illustrating like buffering, distance, etc. 17
