Map of how I see things:

Gray-not sure how things look, not enough data
Light Red-going more democratic (whether it currently is or not)
Light Blue-going more republican (whether it currently is or not)
Red-looks solid, no foreseeable change
Blue-looks solid, no foreseeable change

Looks more like this to me - and this is overestimating Republican movement in the upper midwest just to be generous:


Light pink = moving Dem slowly
Red =  moving Dem rapidly
Light blue = moving Rep slowly
Gray = not moving much or at least not enough to change the balance anytime soon


not a bad map.  How do you see Nevada and New Hampshire moving faster than the others?

Why is Democrat Red and GOP Blue, rather than the other way around?

Back when Dave Leip was first making maps he used these colors.  They very well could be orange and green (as he states on the home page).  However, the media-being that they distort things have twisted around the meaning of what a 'red' or 'blue' state is.
