What's with all the blue in NY??
Anyone care to add NJ?
New York is probably one of the most urbanized states. 40% live in New York City proper and 2/3 in the downstate New York. In upstate New York, much of the population lives in larger cities like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany which all usually go Democrat. Besides the Democrats tend to rack up large margins in the big cities, while the Republicans usually only narrowly win the rural areas, at least in recent elections, thus why New York went solidly for Obama, yet much of the state is still blue.
