I wonder whether association with these guys:

isn't hurting them?

I don't believe there is an association.

In the mind of the voters there might be,...

A WB voter, who makes this association must have been in a coma for, at least, 25 years. Everybody knows what CPI(M) is and what it is not.

This all is humongous!

This is not WOW, this is WOWOWOWOW!

I looked at the results - didn't have time before.

Also, Commies (narrowly) lost Kerala to a Congress-led coalition - though, I guess, there that's the normal alternation of which they are likely to stay a main component. But WB - that's beautiful!

Oh, the holy Jyoti Basu, your troop is nothing without you.

Anyone have a map or know where I can find one? Can't find it on India's election website.

Here it is. Though not visually well-done: you have to point to districts, etc. But, still, you'll get the idea:
