So now the outlier Red and Blue states in 2000 have changed colors, making the map even more divided. The Blue states are now in three distinct clusters, and New Hampshire is no longer stands out in the Northeast. Fascinating.

I don't think that this election indicated NH is a lost cause. Kerry was from the State next door, and the margin was razor thin. I don't think they would have gone for Edwards or She Who Must Not Be Named...
