The dollar borders don't seem quite right. The Connected States of American seems pretty spot on to me though. Having lived in North Jersey, Vermont, and Mississippi I can attest to cohesion of "New England", the LA/MS link, the blur of North NJ/NY and their sharp divide with South NJ/Philly. The visualizations were interesting to look at if nothing else. I wish they had done something with the borders (maybe blurred colors) to make it a bit easier to grok the data.
