		Red states and blue states refer to those U.S. states whose residents predominantly voted for the Republican Party or Democratic Party, respectively, in U.S. elections, especially in the U.S. presidential elections of 2000 and 2004.
		The red states tend to fall in the South, the Great Plains, and the Intermountain West, with the blue states in the Northeast and Pacific Coast.
		All states were consistent in voting for President Bush or his challenger in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections except for three: New Mexico (Gore in '00 and Bush in '04), Iowa (Gore in '00 and Bush in '04) and New Hampshire (Bush in '00 and Kerry in '04).

		Red states have to rely on federal funds more because their populations are smaller, and thus less self-sufficient.
		One of the reasons that I have seen for people marrying younger in red states is their view of sex outside of marriage, and will only be exacerbated by their "abstinence until marriage" push.

		The red wolf's coloration is similar to that of the coyote, but the tawny element is more pronounced, and the pelage is usually somewhat coarser.
		The disappearance of the last red wolves from the wild is attributed to two factors: habitat changes which favored expansion of the historic coyote range into red wolf territory, and the local breakdown of red wolf social structure (caused by extensive trapping, poisoning, and shooting).
		The ability of the red wolf to retain its genetic integrity in the presence of a coyote population, assuming otherwise favorable circumstances, is presently unknown.

	WorldNetDaily: Bush red states more generous
		While activists in Kerry blue states who are talking about seceding from the U.S. slam Bush red states for not giving as much in taxes as do their blue opponents, new research indicates most red states are considerably more generous in giving to charity than blue states.
		This year's findings reveal that 80 percent of the red states rank higher in generosity than any of the blue states and that all the blue states are in the lower half of the list.
		One of the complaints was that the 19 blue states won by Kerry are "donor states" to the red states, meaning they give more in taxes to the federal government than is returned in the form of grants and services.

		The (contiguous 48) states of the country are colored red or blue to indicate whether a majority of their voters voted for the Republican candidate (George W. Bush) or the Democratic candidate (John F. Kerry) respectively.
		That is, states are drawn with a size proportional not to their sheer topographic acreage -- which has little to do with politics -- but to the number of their inhabitants, states with more people appearing larger than states with fewer, regardless of their actual area on the ground.
		The electoral votes are apportioned roughly according to states' populations, as measured by the census, but with a small but deliberate bias in favor of smaller states.

		Of the 28 states that are 40-59 percent Protestant or Mormon, 16 (57 percent) were red, and 12 (43 percent) were blue.
		States with greater mixtures of religious groups went red when Protestants and Mormons got significant help from others, especially Catholics in states such as Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana and Florida.

		When the forces of red and blue encountered one another head-on for the first time in Kansas Territory in 1856, the red forces from Missouri, who had been coveting Indian land across the Missouri River since 1820, entered Kansas and stole the territorial election.
		The red news media of the day made a practice of inflammatory lying—declaring that the blue folks had shot and killed red folks whom everyone knew were walking around.
		The red forces, known then as the slave-power, pulled between 150 and 200 unarmed men from their beds on a Sunday morning and slaughtered them, many in front of their wives and children.

	Red States Make a Mockery Of Self-Reliance (washingtonpost.com)
		And it shows that, with a few exceptions, the anti-government red states are the net winners in the flow of funds while the pro-government blue states are almost all losers.
		In other words, we now have a new red-state political majority comprising voters who, while professing distrust of government and disdain for the values of the blue-state minority, are only too happy to rely on Washington and blue-state wealth to keep them in the style to which they have become accustomed.
		This rank hypocrisy might be laughable but for the fact that the fleecing of the blue states has increased markedly over the past decade as Republicans tightened their hold on Washington.

	Power Line: Slandering the Red States
		There are big differences among the states, as the last election showed -- differences in their understanding of tolerance, in their attitude toward the role of religion in public life, in the value they place on education, conservation and scientific research.
		In blue states, on the other hand, they are bitterly hated and, whenever possible, driven out so that blue states can stamp out diversity and maintain their purity of anti-religious and anti-heterosexual culture.
		Since the blue states are generally richer than the red states, they must bear a greater portion of the federal tax burden.

	TaxProf Blog: Red States Feed at Federal Trough, Blue States Supply the Feed
		Because people in red states are over-represented because of their senators, apportioned arbitrarily based on geographic borders, and because of their consequent bonus votes in the electoral college, people in red states exert a disproportionate amount of influence over the federal government compared to their population.
		Marry this data with the data about state by state income levels, educational achievement and crime and you see that the red states are almost third world countries in comparison to their blue state counterparts.
		The red states are the true welfare queens, and yet they still have the gall to pontificate about how bad government handouts as they cash their checks.

		If anything, the red states do a bit worse than the blue states when you look at indicators of individual responsibility and commitment to family.
		Children in red states are more likely to be born to teenagers or unmarried mothers — in 1999, 33.7 percent of babies in red states were born out of wedlock, versus 32.5 percent in blue states.
		And the red states have special trouble with the Sixth Commandment: the murder rate was 7.4 per 100,000 inhabitants in the red states, compared with 6.1 in the blue states, and 4.1 in New Jersey.

		First, there was the plaintive spectacle of the election outcome: the blue-tagged Democratic states clinging to the Pacific, Great Lakes and North Atlantic shores, beachheads of civilization wrapped around a vast red wilderness.
		Another, weighted for population, showed the red and blue turfs nearly equal (just like the Bush-Kerry vote), with populous blue states such as New York and California swollen like balloons, squeezing the shriveled red strongholds of the Plains and Rockies.
		And there's a corollary perception that, in contrast to these welfare-queen states, the inland and Southern states are a heartland of self-reliance and private initiative, less dependent on federal spending.

	"The Map" Gets a Second Look, by Jonathan Lilienkamp - Democratic Underground
		To clarify, as stated above, this could also be achieved by 536 Bush voters not voting, voting third party, 536 third party voters, 536 non-voters (or uncounted voters) in 2000 or any combination thereof to achieve a Democratic win.
		Finally, to round out all states east of the river named after it, the state of Mississippi falls to the Democrats with a mere 84,116 Bush voters changing their minds in 2004.
		Adding all of the numbers together, this means that the combined number needed to substantially change the red and blue map equates to 1,467,932 former Bush supporters voting more sensibly, 2,935,863 election 2000 Bush supporters not voting, 2,935,863 new democratic voters, or any combination thereof.
