It is kind of funny... according to Thomas Frank, the 2000-2008 maps look like a reverse mirror image of 1896. Are Ds the new Rs? Are Rs the new Ds? Tongue

     States that voted for the same party in both 1896 & 2008 are blue, ones that voted for opposite parties are red:

Comparing 1896 to 2004 makes it even stronger. Now it gets distorted by comparing a Democratic victory to a Republican one. I think there were only 7 states that voted the same way in those two: WV, OH, ND, WA, KY, IA, IN

     1896 v. 2004

 

     It's funny how many of what few states voted the same were congregated in one area in both cases.
