I agree that the Republicans are distorting the truth in their focus on the unskewed county map. I do not see this particularly different, however, from sweeping generalizations that "red states" are filled with knuckle-dragging bigots. In fact, if I had to pick one side which was more respectable in their distortion, it would be the Republican spin.
I would have preferred Kerry to win over Bush as well, but it's no surprise that he lost when his most vocal supporters are people who will throw around maps of slave states and false representations of the "average IQ" of red and blue states to make the point that they were right. You will not win elections by insulting and denigrating those who hold different values and beliefs than you do.
