I could hop in my car and drive all the way from the west coast to the east coast and never pass through a blue county. Likewise, I could start at our southern border and drive all the way to Canada without ever passing through a blue county.
You know why? Because mainstream America extends from coast to coast. The Democrats power is derived from large population centers where a high percentage of constituents are dependent on the state (welfare, etc).
One need only look at the map to see this is true.
Happy Driving.

Is it a coinkydink that the densest population centers are blue areas? You say "welfare recipients", I say "captains of industry" and "Silicon Valley" and "Big Apple". Let's call the whole thing off.
I'm not sure PNAC and Diebold can keep a wee bit more blue from creeping in come Tuesday.
Or you could use it as a crime statistic map. Blue areas have MUCH higher crime rates and welfare rolls.
You could also view the map as blue areas representing labor unions.
Why would dense population centers vote so much differently than folks in the midwest or small towns?
Because big city folks have different values. Cities run by unions, crime, and welfare rolls vote Blue. LA, NY, SanFran, Miami, Rio Grande, Detroit, Cinncinati, D.C....
Yeah, there's bound to be higher crime when there are more people in less space. It's an unfortunate part of human nature.
I see dense population centers as having different values because they are usually centers of thought and reasoning. But hey, I'm a lefty elitist. :)
