New, and improved blue map of USA!
The NY Times is showing blue almost everywhere to indicate more democratic votes in 2008 than in 2004.

1. Freepers think that the NYT is saying that the blue areas are majority Democratic areas.
Freepers are stupid.

3. No, but maybe some day soon!
This is one time when I want them to be correct on something. It (the latest trend) is definitely something to build on and what I have always thought. Expose those Rush Limbaugh only areas to new ideas and thoughts and watch the red out start to work.

6. I wonder what it was about Obama that made that one area go redder.
Maybe they don't like skinny people.

7. That map shows changes to blue and changes to red from '04; not the actual vote.

14. It's more on Arkansas than any other state.
Why would Kerry get alot more votes in AR than Obama?

16. It's Hillary's state. It was more "personal" to some voters.
We do have over our fair share of racists here too but I think the Hillary effect has some to do with the damn redness of my state.

17. Yep. It looks like the bitter clinging anti-Obama Hillary effect.
Oh well, I guess that might have been expected.
