Do red and blue correspond to Democrats and Republicans?
Yes, but I can't say what grey means because it would spoil it.

Actually, I made a couple mistakes. Nebraska and Florida should both be blue.

Okay, since nobody wants to guess, I'll just say what it is. Each state is colored according to the political affiliation of the last incumbent Senator to lose reelection. I think Kansas should also be blue, though.

That's a pretty cool idea.
Some of these are pretty long ago, I suppose?
Yeah, I had to do a bit of research. Some I was able to get easily (South Dakota) and others I had to look up (Maryland). Louisiana, Mississippi, and Vermont have never had an incumbent be defeated.

Most EC Votes, yes this has been done before, I believe.
Has it? I was too lazy to check. Tongue

Howard Dean lost Iowa convincingly in the 2004 primary season and Iowa is in grey, so therefore does it show a connection between Dean's primary vote compared to Kerry's?
No, it has nothing to do with voting percentages. Though you are on to something by saying he lost Iowa.

Red indicates places that he named during that oh so famous speech in Iowa?

With the shading indicating the order in which he said them.

Bingo. Iowa is grey because he was in Iowa when he gave the speech, and mentioned it, but wasn't going there.

I did this one earlier, but the new Senate changes the map. It is the last incumbent defeated in each state.
