Do you live in a Blue state or a Red state?

[usregimechange]

Poll question: Do you live in a Blue state or a Red state?

Going by the 04 Presidential election map:

[unpossibles]

1. I live in a blue-ish purple state

that has been hijacked and pretends to be more red than it is.


Ohio. The taint of it all.

[bullimiami]

3. me too. florida. i think we are blue but the dice keep coming up red.

the game is fixed.

[SteppingRazor]

4. Florida here too...

It feels weird to be in a red state, when almost everyone I know shares many of my political convictions.

[bluedog]

19. Fl here also

[unpossibles]

25. same here

although I wonder sometimes.

Personally I feel the game has been rigged - there are a lot of neocons out there, and maybe some middle-of-the-roaders who got hoodwinked, but... they don't really seem to be the majority, even in the rural areas.

[begin_within]

11. same as with Ohio and New Mexico - actually blue but came up as red

[peace frog]

20. I swear they changed my vote in 2004

I don't know what happened to this state... Florida was a great place to live until Jeb Bush became governor.

[bnr65432]

22. im in ohio too

it is really frustrating that the republicans keep cheating

[davidinalameda]

2. blue

California!

[rusty charly]

5. blue and red states

by population

[elperromagico]

6. Most of us live in purple states.

They're slightly blue here, slightly red there.

[AZBlue]

7. Arizona. 'Nuff said.

[azmouse]

10. But we have a Dem governor

I always wonder how that happened.

[AZBlue]

That's a good point!

And, yes, I wonder how that happened too!! She even looks like she's got a good chance for re-election next year too - go Janet!

[GrumpyGreg]

8. The bluest of the blue=Massachusetts

[Todd B]

12. Same here...

With the exception of, possibly, Vermont.

Once we get rid of Romney, we'll be blue through and through.

[Maggie_May]

9. Heres a crazy research question

I wonder if there a numbers out there that has how many register voters in the USA that are Dem Rep Ind. I know I am one of those crazy numbers nuts.

[MisterGrinch]

13. Up the resolution a little.....

[Maggie_May]

15. Thanks great link

I wonder if all the red feels the same way now. I can't believe even my state Michigan was so close. That should have never been like that. I still think it was those so called moral issues why they won.

[Dragon Turtle]

14. Red area of a blue state.

[Broken_Hero]

16. red...and red...

I'm born/raised in Alaska, which is red...I have been in missouri for over two years now, and its Red, but its closer to a swing state. I lived in California for a few years, and that state is blue..

[AlinPA]

17. Blue, but we have two R Senators- Spector and Slimetorum.

[Gato Moteado]

18. neither

nt

[racaulk]

21. Blue island in a sea of red

I live in Atlanta, which is fairly blue, but Georgia is red on the whole. * won Georgia by a 16-point margin last year, but we have Diebold machines here (statewide, I think), so who knows how accurate that is.

[Raffi Ella]

24. I live in Atlanta too

Everyone I know voted for Kerry.

Georgia is a red state but all over the state it was evenly divided between Kerry and Bush.We are a purple state in fact.Not red.
It sucks being in a state that is thought of as a Bush supporting state.It also sucks that people think of the South the way they do.That it's our fault he won.

[MercutioATC]

23. Red - Ohio (yes, we're actually a red state)

Not by much, but we're red.

[sacralouis]

26. response

I live in a blue city in a red state. The whole generalizations about states being either red or blue are as bad as saying all blacks are listless, criminals.

[Lefty48197]

27. Interesting results so far: Blue 60, Red 58.

Nobody can claim that DU is a bunch of "Northeastern liberals", or "Malibu Liberals", or this kind of "liberal", or that kind of "liberal".

[QC]

28. I live in a purple one, like everyone else in the country.

It's time to drop this simplistic, reductive red/blue business, which is a Republican talking point anyway, and deal with reality.

[Mountainman]

29. California is Blue but just about as many repukes live there as Dems

[win_in_06]

30. Wow, split right down the middle

[Crunchy Frog]

31. Red, but trending purple.

As in Colorado. With the right candidate, I believe the Dems could take it again.

[nickshepDEM]

32. The only southern 'blue state' in the nation, baby!

[booley]

33. Missouri is more Purple

we almost did th eright thing.

[Zynx]

35. In 2004 it wasn't all that close.

We lost MO by 7%+ in 2004.

[Zynx]

34. Blue since 1988.

Damn proud of it.
