Let's not get too attached to the swath of Republican color across our great country. Over the years, it has shifted back and forth, sometimes dramatically.

Wele the other thing is, the democrats now, bear little resemblance to the democrats of decades past as well. There are no more Zell Millers.
Having said that, the past few decades have been trending conservative much more than liberal.

I agree: no complacency. However, I have to admit I was struck by how "close" the 1944 election was. During the height of WWII, when it was clear we would triumph, with the Depression defeated due to ammunitions production and the military service, etc., etc., FDR still only pulled out 53.3% of the vote. This was in the day when AP actually supported our troops and President. That shows just how remarkable W's victory was.

Well, no s--t it shifts back and forth. This stuff has been and will always be cyclical. What I
AM attached to, with the National Atlas confirming, is the fact that
REPUBLICANS ARE BLUE!!!

I learned something from these maps that I never realized before. Adlai Stevenson (the "intellectual") won only in the South.

The shameful thing about that map is California. It went Republican from 1968 to 1988...and hasn't went Repubican since.
Where did they go wrong. Heck...it even went Republican for Ford.
How do we get California back?
