Tell me about it. This was 2010 governor's race. The democrat won. One of the reasons I rejoice at big cities grief.😃

True, but your map also points out that most of these "blue states" that some of us are so quick to write off also show that the majority of counties in those states are conservative.

For years, I lived in a conservative enclave 30 miles west of Boston. Now I live in a similar conservative area in CT some 60 miles north of NYC. It is the big cities that cancel out all our votes however.

I am not optimistic that the problems of the big cities will result in more conservative voters in those cities however. They seem to be doubling down on their insanity.
