You act is if this is the first time we had the GOP has minority candidates. What about Jindal, Watts and unelected people like Thomas?
and that's a good map though Colorado is at least as Green as Yellow. Its one of the few states where Obama won the White vote. ...and I didn't know there was much unionism in Maine. They also strike me as a "green" state. ... Iowa and Missouri would seem Blue, too. ...and Delaware seems out of place, too...
This is what my take would be.
Green- Your "hipster" liberals
Blue- The "Hard to Organize"
Yellow- Hispanics and Natives in West, Blacks in East
Red- Working Stiffs
Gray- Little, if any, actual power or base.
...and it depends on what happens and we will probably have to wait until the last vestiges of the old south finally disappear but my money is that if Unions continue to remain weak, they will probably start trending Republican or if more minorities start assimilating, they will probably start becoming more Republican.
