2012 election?

NE Liberals moving South in large masses and illegals getting the right to vote, more like 50 years down the road

[DownWithTheLeft]

Hint: Representative vs. a Fmr. Gov

Gene Taylor v. Bill Weld?

Damn, great guess!

It's the states mentioned in Dani California from what i can tell

HINT: Has to do with education

Map of which states contain schools located within New Jersey.

No, its actually something I saw on Jeopardy, it has to do with higher education

Blue: the primary state university contains the state's name
Red: the primary state university does not contain the state's namee

BINGO!

I'll give you a hint: it has to do with Presidential elections (include DC)

How many times they voted Republican or Dem?  But that makes no sense since VT has voted more GOP than anyone else.  That does account for the South though, but how bout WV?

Here. This is it with the shades...and the information is as of 2000.

Given the complete opposite shading of MS and MN, is it obesity rates?

[DownWithTheLeft]

Birth rates? Red states have more births per thousand women than green states? Although I guess Utah doesn't really fit that mould, so perhaps not...

I'm thinking it might just be overall healthiest state

Colours are random and non-political but mean something.

See if you can guess.

There is one error on the map, Correze should be red. I probably gave part away.

Something to do with population growth?

No. It's political.

Benconstine's wet dream?

[DownWithTheLeft]

Not political, only one state has changed in the last 10 years I believe, and it changed very recently, NY and CA are tops:

Sports related (too hard otherwise):

Anyone?  Its one of the red states that changed

[DownWithTheLeft]

Not political, eh? Is it sporting, like your other one there?

Yeah, that should make it a dead giveaway

[DownWithTheLeft]

DWTL - that makes your map harder for me - I don't really know much about sports in the US... Is it something to do with number of people who attend grid iron matches vs people who attend basketball games?

PlatypeanArchcow - proportion of state's border which is straight?

Xahar is right about Oklahoma being the state that changed.  You have to think all sports, not just the NBA though.  By now anyone with knowledge of American sports should be able to get it, and maybe you too Smid

[DownWithTheLeft]

Places with major professional sports teams. (red?)

Yeah, but I think there's more than 2 states with a team

What's different between the 3 colors?

[DownWithTheLeft]

Do the colours have to do with how many teams they have? Eg - Florida has Orlando in the basketball and the Dolphins in the grid iron, so two major teams? I think they've got a hockey team, too, but don't quote me on it.

Florida has:

Basketball: Orlando, Miami
Football: Tampa Bay, Miami, Jacksonville
Baseball: Tampa Bay, Miami
Hockey: Tampa Bay, Miami



Red ones are states with one team.

Yup, that's it. 

Grey = no team
Red = 1 team
Blue = 2+ teams

In the NBA, MLB, NHL, and NFL

[DownWithTheLeft]

Blue states = government sanctioned racism
Red states = non-government sanctioned overt racism
Grey states = even worse, closet racist states

[DownWithTheLeft]

Number of teams in the SEC?
