Political scientist Larry Sabato analyzed the final vote tallies for last night’s House vote on a fiscal cliff compromise and noticed some interesting trends.

In addition to a growing ideological divide between conservatives and establishment-types, there’s a big regional divide within the Republican Party: 88% of Republicans representing southern constituencies voted no, while 86% of Republicans from the northeast voted yes. Or, put another way, “almost 9 of 10 South/Border Rs said no but outside South it was dead even split,” Sabato tweeted this morning.

And in case you missed it, Mike Opelka posted a startling graphic which may explain why so many Republicans in the House bulked at the Senate compromise.  We have a real spending problem in America.  In addition to that graphic, consider this for some perspective on the so-called fiscal cliff deal:  The new $600 billion of tax revenues will almost — but not quite — pay for our current rate of spending on food stamps.

Swell.
