The colors do not represent the parties.

Number of times a State voted for a third party since 1912 (green=1, blue=2, red=3).

Yes, both.  Can you figure out what exactly it has to do with them?

Red : Obama won in primary and/or McCain lost.
Blue : Obama lost and/or McCain won.

In case both won or lost, the results of the General eleciton determine the color.

You're both wrong; A hint : shades represent normal Atlas percentages (ie in this case from 20% to 40%).

No. That's 2004 indeed, with red representing a certain percentage for democrats and blue a certain percentage for republicans. The shades have the same meaning they have on the Atlas.

Hmmm...Is it the percent that each candidate won the sate by? So if Kerry got 40% of the vote & bush got 50% of the vote it would be Blue >10%?

No way, look at NY and Wisconsin.

Try to look at which States have the 20% shades and which have the 40%. What distinguishes them ?

Yeah, I'd like. Wink

Oh, I get it. For each State, the percentage got in the 2008 Presidential by the candidate of the Senators' party (when the State is split, it's the best of the two percentages).

They all have large hispanic minority populations, right?

Oh yeah, it's true. I didn't notice it...

Actually, this is not directly related with my map, but I think this may help you to find what it represents. What's one of the main characteristics of hispanics and other minorities in the way they vote ?

Does it have to do with voter turnout?

Yeah, finally someone got it ! Smiley

That's right indeed. You can tell me what it shows exactly, even if it's pretty evident now. Wink

After Ohio going GOP in 2010, scenario in which Obama wins the presidency in 2012.

This map is actually extremely important, because it is exactly how a tied election between Obama and McCain would have turned out in 2008.
