RED AND BLUE NOT TRUE

One of the more annoying mass media electoral cliches is the red and blue state thing. It really pisses me off. It basically says that we are a rigidly aligned, dogmatic populace that is immune to logical thought or any appeal other than the familiar rant of the red or blue ideologues; make that demagogues. Now, some hard work by Philip Klinker in The Gadflyer shows us that the Red And Blue Scare may not be there. I hope so. We will need every one of those purple votes in November.
