This map, which originated with National Journal, has been making the rounds on Twitter. It it similar to the one that was popular a few years ago that showed the United States as red or blue, by county. But this map shows the Congressional districts based on the just-completed election:
In a sense, maps like this one are misleading because the small blue areas are basically the cities, where lots of people live. But what this map does reveal is that the Democrats are no longer competitive in rural and small-town America. It is now rare for a district dominated by small towns not to be Republican.
Yeah, by 3,761 votes. 0.18%!
That big blue amoeba in south Carolina is democrat James Clyburn’s gerrymandered plantation. He’s the only democrat in congress from South Carolina.
“Lutherans”
Best analysis I’ve seen so far. Affable idiots.
Vermont is solid blue. What’s up with Arizona? It’s more blue than red.
There is something wrong with the majority of people in a state that elects a clown such as Franken and keep bringing in Somalis, scores of whom are into child porn and Jihad.
Well, there is no love lost between the two countries especially after what the Swedes did to them in WWII. They are extremely competitive with one another, but in the end they are essentially the same genetic pool along with Denmark.
I thought it stood for Dumb F-word Liberals. ;)

That is not the correct 1984 map for Reagan’s win.
The “Redstate.com” and other “South Will Rise Again” (RED on Civil War maps, representing the South {and Democrats, too}) politicos ... have continued to push the RED meme.
BLUE is the color for Reagan Republicans and states and counties won - in 1980 and in 1984.
Some years after, the TV network news swapped the colors, in order to confuse west coast voters: The abundance of BLUE at a glance of the TV, had west coast voters thinking that Republicans were winning - so no need to rush from work to the polls before going home.
Again, BLUE is for REAGAN, and RED is for COMMUNISTS/LEFTISTS/SOCIALISTS.
I think it may have to do with the Longshoremen's unions.
