United We Stand, or a Nation Divided?
The red and blue election night maps from the past two presidential elections indicated that we may be a nation divided. Events such as 9/11, however, were initially quite unifying. The recent events surrounding Hurricane Katrina seem to be showing both division and unity. As we get ready to discuss American political culture in class, start to think about this. What do you think? Are we a nation divided? Explain your position on this issue.

Not the nation is divided, rather it's our politic that's "bipolar" according to the article. Red and Blue are now the two most powerful, yet extreme, parties; there isn't a 3rd influential party that could mediate the "polarization". As voters, what a hard choice to make every 4 years! hence I think the voter participation are decreasing, right? I agree with musicjunkie, our nation is united.
