Yeah the Utah and Idaho thing does bother me. I dont see that the socially moderate guy would beat the socially conservative guy in those states.
Hmmmm.... it's tough. This is the best you could probably do and this still sucks-
There's really three questions-
Is a state red or blue?
Why is that state red or blue?
Would a state keep its loyalty to a particular party if their party's candidate did not deliver and they had the alternative of a moderate opponent that could deliver for them?
Basically, it could give us a backwards "L". Imagine that!
Some things that will probably bother people about these maps-
* New Jersey
* Utah
* Idaho
* Florida
* California
* Wyoming
* The Dakotas
Hmmm....
