That map shows it, and is a bit of a scary look into 2008 if we aren’t careful.

Look at the colors (Red & Blue), Rep. used to be blue.

I couldn’t force myself to vote for Dole. I did, however think that so many people were disgusted by his wife that it was already a lost cause so a vote for him wasn’t going to help get rid if the slickster anyway.

That same map looks a little better for us in 2008, because a lot of the green states have more votes, and the blue ones have fewer.

I miss the days when they changed the colors on the map every time, and when the colors were for incumbent and challenger.

I really hate being stuck with the color “red”. Blue is cooler, but I’d really like to have had either Orange or Purple.
