Of all the Democratic Party factions, which will be the first to leave?

[Indy Prez]

This is a much harder question to represent cartographically than my GOP variation, as there is significant overlap between the various factions and many inter-factionary facets e.g. "Ethnic Minorities". But it's as comprehensive as daveleip will allow...

Labour Unions = Red
Ethnic Minorities = Yellow
Middle Class DLC types = Blue
Secular Progressives = Green
REPUBLICAN NO-GO = Grey

Also consider the rise of minority candidates in the GOP via the Tea Party in the 2010 midterms (West, Haley, Martinez etc)

If I had to paint Utah with any Democratic brush it'd be red, as the state party has a long history with mining, and any Hispanic with a choice probably finds any neighbouring state more hospitable so I wouldn't lump it in with the others. I would lump Alaska in with the Minorities for it's Democratic block is pretty solidly Inuit-based (on that note, also thanks for explaining the Natives-Blacks-Mexicans interfactionary composite -though it was my intention to represent the eastern minority states of DE, NY, NJ and FL as Jew strongholds).

Maine has a rich history of labour movement (Bath Iron Works, all that "no one works harder than a Mainer" talk), which Paul LePage recently found out the hard way. It's also in the lower half of states in terms of GDP so it could be called a poor state along with WV and MS.

I consider Iowa green since historically it gave us the first Hipster Democrat in Henry Wallace (and incidentally is the nation's Transcendental epicentre). If we had to base the map on 1988-2000 electoral results I would paint it red. But everyone knows Barry won it in the primaries and in the general by importing his Hipster army.
