RED STATE/BLUE STATE/SWING STATE - Where do YOU live?

[UdoKier]

RED STATE/BLUE STATE/SWING STATE - Where do YOU live?

[Mojambo]

1. Washington.

Solidly Kerry.

[lakemonster11]

29. Me too (assuming you mean WA rather than DC)

But for some reason we often get listed as a swing state. I think that's utter nonsense.

[AntiCoup2K4]

44. Probably due to the prevailing Freeper "red counties/land mass" theory

...Based on that theory, Washington would mostly be a "red state". Except that the majority of the population is in the Puget Sound region, and that's where the sane people happen to be ;)

[69KV]

57. Yeah, true

In Chelan County and Lewis County the Repuke signs dot the landscape like poisonous mushrooms. Also my experience in Washington is the religious reich is *very* well organized and has control over all the local Repuke party machinery, and they are more active and hateful than most other states I've been.

And all that doesn't matter, because the yahoos in Centralia and Wenatchee and Forks cannot swing an election in a state dominated by Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Spokane, Olympia, Renton...

Give it up, Repukes :evilgrin: :dem:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

45. SW Washington

Looks pretty good around here for Kerry. Good for Patty, too.

[cmf]

65. Me, too

I think it's solid blue this year (despite all of those red counties out east).

[Forkboy]

2. Mass...if we lean for Kerry any further we'll all fall over

[Justice]

27. Ditto

Going to NH for the final days of the campaign.

[Rockholm]

30. Lovin' It Here in Massachusetts!!!!

Sorry folks, but damn, we have got a GREAT state! Contrary to what bush says!

[lukasahero]

64. Couldn't agree more! eom

[Indiana_Dem]

3. Indiana--need i say anymore?

I'm just hoping we make a good showing.

[kokomo]

12. Even our Democrats in the Hoosier State act like Republicans.

I will admit voting for Richard Lugar, one of our better "democrats".
Plus, he is a friend of the family (I am the black sheep Democrat) and a terrific person. I consider Lugar a real Republican but alas a dying breed, as the neocons and religious nutjobs have hijacked that party.

[Indiana_Dem]

15. I will vote for him. I've been emailing him and he and his team

give me the best responses. I really respect him. He is one of the few Republicans I respect. He's not up for election this time around though is he?

[maveric]

4. Red area of a blue state. (San Diego)

I've talked to several active and retired military types here and they are not fond of bu$h of the war. This county may go blue this time around.

[freetobegay]

5. Other!

Florida, we still don't know what we are. :shrug:

[soup]

38. yep.

RED STATE/BLUE STATE/SWING STATE? - Florida

'FUBAR', 'Fiasco', 'Banana Republic', 'All of the Above', and 'None of the Above' weren't options, so guess 'Other' covers it best.

[ButterflyBlood]

6. supposedly a swing state, but we're going blue for sure! Minnesota!

n/t

[autorank]

7. Virginia: Great ground game, watch for a BIG surprise.

Dems here are motivated from the bottom up and top down. Great organizers, great effort by foot soldiers, and a first rate Democratic party lead by Gov. Warner a true DEMOCRAT all the way. Watch us blow your minds. And we'll have an honest election.

[drhilarius]

8. NoVA Dem here...

Dems around here are highly motivated and organized. Plus, a good number of tech people out of work as well as tech people worried about their jobs.

[JohnKleeb]

19. Yep

I did some stuff in the Herndon homecoming parade of the NoVa dems, headed down to DC this saturday though to do work at the DNC and then on sunday I may do some canvassing as well, ain't sure.

[phylny]

22. I used to live in Loudoun County,

near Chantilly. I always felt outnumbered, until Governor Warner was elected. There's real hope for Virginia - good luck!

[WoodrowFan]

60. that'd be nice but

I'll believe it when I see it. I was driving around rural Va a few weeks ago and there were tons more Bush signs that Kerry. He'll carry Fairfax and Arlington easy, but as for the rest..... Heck, even Fairfax City has more Bush signs that I like to see. :(

[Kimber Scott]

9. Arizona - Picked Swing but, may be Red. I think it's Pink at worst. nt

[phish420]

10. FLA USA

[JuliaAnn]

13. I'm in Indiana, too --- help!

Well, a blue street (I think, cuz the teachers on this street who hated the oval office blow job now hate "No Child Left Behind" even more) in a red city (moralists all who seem to love only church choirs, assault weapons, and CSI) in a flaming red excuse (what can be done?) of a state. But I'm voting, by God. I wanted to put a huge sign in my front yard that reads: "If Bush wins the election, this house is for sale." Why bother? Kerry will win and I won't have to pack (whew). And if the GOP tries to steal this one? I'll sell the fucker to help finance the revolution.

GO, YOU SWING STATE DEMS! This is one Hoosier who loves you.

[Qanisqineq]

11. Colorado... what in the heck are we?

I'm pretty new here so not so sure. I tend to say red, but I live in a pretty conservative part of the state!

[JuliaAnn]

14. Thanks for the laugh Forkboy!

Go ahead, fall over. We'll help you up!

[AndyTiedye]

17. With the Amendment, You Could be Sorta Purple in CO

[AndyTiedye]

18. With the Amendment, You Could be Sorta Purple in CO

[fujiyama]

16. Blue State, considered a swing state (MI)

But shhh! don't tell Bush that. I'd rather have him waste his money here than the state south of us!

[RebelOne]

20. Totally red state of Georgia.

[radfringe]

21. PA

a co-worker mentioned that his street was lined with Kerry-Edwards signs yesterday morning...

they weren't there Wednesday night

my informal "road survey" (commute route)-- I've seen more Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers and signs than I have bush*-cheney

[Riptide]

49. Pennsylvania, also. I am very excited about the number of Kerry signs

here in Repuke Chester County.

[Lady Effingbroke]

23. Texas

"It's like a whole other country™" :eyes:

[baldguy]

35. Argentina?

[NoPasaran]

24. Blue part of a red state

Austin, Texas

[GoodSpud]

59. Me too.

And getting bluer I think.

<GRIN>

T.D.P.

[Clintmax]

25. Florida here

And Tallahassee in particular. We don't yet know how the state will go, but my feeling is BLUE! Jeb can go to h e double hocky sticks!

LOL

[ihaveaquestion]

36. Tampa

I think Fla. will go to Kerry big time!

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

26. Blue State

OHIO -- We're going to whup that Texas candy-ass something fierce in about two weeks!

[Cadfael]

28. Red part of a Blue State

DuPage County, Illinois...though it's not as lonely as it used to be.

[in_cog_ni_to]

31. Blue State, Illinois, but

my village is so red it makes Ketchup look black! :( It's very depressing here.

[abburdlen]

32. In North Carolina

Once considered quite red, then in play now looking redish but I still beleive Kerry will win NC

[baldguy]

33. No Totalitarian Red for me.

Freedom Blue NY all the way!

[OneTwentyoNine]

34. Kansas wouldn't be a swing state if you put hinges on it.....

Hell,these idiots didn't even vote for FDR in a majority vote in his 3rd and 4th terms. Of course in the 3rd he ran against Kansan Alf Landon which turned out to be one of the biggest landslides ever so I guess you could see Kansas going that way....

David

[loudestchick]

52. Hello Kansas!!!

I have a good friend in Olathe...her husband claims that she's a dem in Kansas just to be difficult!!!!:eyes:
What about bistate 2?

[WoodrowFan]

58. correction

A correction, FDR ran against Indiana's Wendel Wilkie for his 3d term in 1940. He ran against Alf Landon in 1936. Wilkie carried Kansas in 1940, Landon LOST Kansas in 1936.

[blindpig]

37. South Cacalaca

and the Upstate at that! The belly of the Beast.

[SCDem]

39. In Jim DeMint Country!

I'm in South Cacalacky too! My county has gone Rep but our county Democratic Party is really really energized this year so hopefully at least our county will go blue. At least there is no debate about our great congressman John Spratt.

Good luck and keep up the good fight!

[blindpig]

69. yup, white male dems are an endangered species here

DNR wanted to put a radio collar on me but I won't let them, they'd just track me to my last few honeyholes of good habitat and rat me out to the county real estate bund.

[Dzimbowicz]

71. Glad to know that I'm not alone here

I am also from SC. Columbia is home, but I currently reside in Rock He-yull. Yes, we are an endangered species here in the upstate.

[noonwitch]

40. Blue State-Michigan. Sometimes a swing state, but probably not this year

Kerry will likely win. I'm looking for a big Detroit turnout like in 2000 and the 2002 Governnor's race. One of my uncles voted Bush in 2000 and is voting Kerry this year. He's a semi-conservative christian, too. My other uncle hasn't voted in a decade, nor has his wife. They re-registered and are planning to vote for Kerry. My cousin turned 18 this year and registered to vote (he's been bugging his parents to register ever since, and succeeded), and is voting Kerry. He is afraid of being drafted, and so are most of his friends.

My dad in Florida also voted for Bush in 2000. He loves Jeb, but now loathes W. He said that Jeb would be a good President, but his brother is ruining his chances of ever winning. He's voting for Kerry.

[B Calm]

41. I live behind the Hoosier Iron Curtain and

trust me, the people who live in Dan Burton's district have very few teeth and large protruding foreheads!

[Mrs_Beastman]

42. Ohio

I think Kerry is going to win here....Just by the unscientific poll I've taken of friends and family around the state.

[WLKjr]

43. Same here, NW Ohio ground game

is very INTENSE. lot of unhappy people around here.

[robbedvoter]

46. NY - our votes - for granted and not worth much anyway

[Suziq]

47. New Jersey BLUE!

I don't give a damn what anyone says, New Jersey is NOT a swing state. The Repukes are trying hard to make it that way, but I don't buy it. I live in a very Repuke part of the state, and have seen more Kerry/Edwards signs than signs for Smirky.

:hippie:

[Terran]

48. Missouri--the State of Schizophrenia

In 2000 we went for Bush but also elected four Dems to to the state's top offices. Go figure.

[loudestchick]

50. also Missouri

we look like the US as a whole...red in the middle and blue on the coasts...proud to live on the western edge of Misery...(actually about 12 blocks from the Missouri/Kansas state line)

[stlchic]

53. MO here as well...

I think at one point it was classified as a "battleground state", but I recall reading that it's not anymore because of polls swinging towards Bush.

:shrug:

[loudestchick]

54. I don't hear you!!! LALALALALALALa

[Terran]

68. Welcome Stlchic!

Welcome to DU. And don't trust those polls too much. I saw one recently that had them in a dead heat. Bush only won Missouri by a few thousand votes in 2000, and we've had more per capita job losses here than any other state since then. I don't think Bush has a lock on MO, no way. You got to SHOW US! :D

[Endangered Specie]

51. I believe that NC is a swing state now.

[merh]

55. Mississippi - but it has faded from red to pink

according to some polls and the way the B/C is airing campaign ads in markets viewed by MS

[GoalKeeper1]

56. SW Ohio

The Repugnicant stronghold of Cincy.

[Coyote_Bandit]

61. Oklahoma - the Land of the Pharasees

And hoping to catch the next train out of here

Too many self-righteous brain dead looney tunes here for me :puke:

[newyawker99]

67. Hi wow!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[paritom]

62. Over seas

France

[OnionPatch]

63. Red part of California

which is depressing sometimes. (Sure wish my company would move north!) One thing is nice....whenever I see Bush signs, I can blow raspberries at them because their vote will not count in the end.

[Steelangel]

66. Ditto. I hate this place.. I want to live in San Francisco

where liberals & free-thinking people are.

[TexasLady]

70. Texas

and not nearly close enough to Austin.
