04/10/2007 | If 49% of a state voted for A and 51% voted for B, how does that make that one state entirely a "B" state? It's gross oversimplification.

04/01/2007 | The United States is a country of 300 million people. This
population consists of multiple ethnicities, numerous religious groups,
and dozens of different lifestyles. Yet some people believe that
all of this diversity can be simplified into blue and red states or
liberal and conservative. Get real! No wonder half the
electorate stays home on election day.

03/26/2007 | Two tiresome and misleading designations that have been driven into the ground by the media over the last 8 years. The striking electoral patterns of 2000/2004 already seem like a transient phenomenon created by an odd series of events: the unusually polarizing presidencies of Clinton and Bush Jr., uneven immigration patterns, the prosperity of the 90s, and war hysteria. As these factors decline in relevance, traditional political issues and electoral patterns are re-emerging, and the simplistic, over-hyped red/blue divisions are fading away.
