Analysis of Party voting trends by state

[Verily]

What i find to be interesting is that none of the kerry 04 states and only New Mexico of the Gore 00 states have a Republican value.

Would not seem to bode well.

New Mexico would have had the same value in 2000 anyway. Arkansas would have been a toss-up in 2004 and 2000 (GOP governor, Huckabee), but West Virginia would also have had an incorrect value in both 2000 and 2004.

I think it's primarily a Southern phenomenon. The Democrats still dominate the state politics of many Southern states merely by virtue of having powerful and ancient infrastructures, but both they and their voters have little love for the national party.
