    I didn’t *intend* to cheat on this one… but rename your image file next time you post a quiz. A good old-fashioned googlin’ brought the answer. I won’t post the answer here, for all who want to keep playing. But will reveal all.

    PS sorry for the double-post. My html tagging skillz must be getting moldy.

    I intentionally left that image file name as a clue. Good work, Dillon!

    I also googled the image file. And yes, I was intending to cheat but, since my brother already beat me to it, I won’t post my (the) answer. However, here is a hint: There are a large number of telemarketing companies in this area.

    Haha. I wasn’t the only one who cheated I guess. I was trying very hard to find one of the famous dialect surveys (http://www4.uwm.edu/FLL/linguistics/dialect/index.html) that fit the map so it looked like I tried.

    My favorite is the bubbler one:

    Here was my guess before I searched for the answer: this region is representative of the American voter. The winner of the presidential election wins this region with the same percent as the popular vote across the U.S.
