The country is still basically split as it was during the Civil War. Parties have changed ideology. But people have not changed their beliefs.
This is really a bunch of huey. You need to look at the election map by county, instead of by state, for the real patterns.
as usual my first impression is: "What are all those folks in the "blue" areas thinking?"

True, Phoenix is a big city, but other than some students and professors, it isn't what most of us would associate with "liberal" Eg., tolerance, pro choice, pro gay, etc., etc. Again, what it is is Mexican.
Gee JG, it's hard to believe that the close to 58,000,000 voters (the 49% minor vote, remember) live primarily in those sparse blue areas? We Liberals, should expand and take over the barren waste land of America to bring some enlightenment to the backward masses.
If you substitute "Conservatives" for "Liberals", I could have written this post.

You seem to be a pretty dim bulb to bring enlightment to anything. The red areas are the areas where a majority supported Bush and the blue areas are areas where a majority supported the other guy.

I didn't bother responding to GDER's remark as I was making a joke in response to JG about the limited blue versus numerous red counties which apparently GDER didn't get.And resorting to name calling just ruins the board for everyone.
Absolutely beautiful sentiment, and I thank you for reminding me. Now, what I can't understand is why although my most recent immigrant ancestor was 6 generations ago, and I speak unaccented English, people feel free to call me Irish. And I admit, although I am American, my Irishness does influence me.Also, we tend to call "legal Mexicans" Americans.
It seems that your point pretty well boils down to , "Hey, I like Mexican food, colorful street names and cheap casual labor. So don't discuss the dark side of this."
I've never had a "yard man" or household help of any kind (unless you count my husband).When was the last time you had a regular African American yard man or household help?
I couldn't agree with you more.Maybe they are not as "colorful" as you would like. But they have been here a long time, didn't ask to come, and their problems are only one example of less than ideal outcomes from uncontrolled immigration.
