What would create this map?

[Hatman 🍁]

Also, try and guess what the map is of. (should be easy)

[A18]

Governors?

[Joe Republic]

Governors?

I guess so.  And the shading denotes their moderate/extreme persuasion?

I have absolutely no idea what election match-up would produce the map though.

Edit: Actually, that shading wouldn't apply to Gov. John Hoeven of North Dakota, who is a moderate.

I think the shading is what % of the vote they got.

Arnold is definitely not the most liberal Republican governor.

That is correct Now what Presidential race would create such an odd map?

[Joe Republic]

Ah yes, that makes more sense.  Hoeven got <70%.

Byrd/Richardson vs. Guilani / Arnold

No, the correct answer is "nothing." New Jersey and Maryland make absolutely no sense.

[True Democrat]

Celucci/Douglas vs. Breaux/Freudenthal

Celucci makes an anti-New Jersey comment, and Byrd gives huge support to Breaux.  However, Breaux decides not to run ads in Arkansas, and he criticizes the city of Baltimore to a large extent.  Also, there is a strong liberal third party.

[Joe Republic]

I reckon two 'unity tickets' could do it, but I still don't have a clue who they might be.

Huh?  I wasn't being sarcastic.  I probably meant '>70%'.  I get confused by which direction the symbol is supposed to point.

Oh sorry. Also note, DC is 60+ which is very low for a Democrat (mayoral race)

[MaC]

is John Thune on the ticket?
how about the governor of Wyoming?
Mitt Romney?
