Do you think we’ll see a retraction from all the blogs that told us, with one hand on hip and the other shaking a self-righteous finger, that the GOP had to kill a baby with a fork on live television in order to be elected anywhere north of the Ohio River?
That map is seriously distorted. Montana is nowhere near that big, for example compared to Texas. The red would appear as an even higher percentage of the US on a more surface-area accurate map projection.
Nonsense, Guav, the Tea Party was what gave energy to the GOP for this election cycle in the first place. Without the Tea Party, the GOP would not have gotten at least six new Senate seats and 60-70 House seats that it did.
A year and a half ago, there was no sense at all that the GOP could do anything but fade away.

Damn! Thought last night would get rid of those Blue Stains for good! Time to try the Extra-Strength Marxist Remover in 2012.

Quick, someone map the results on a gnomonic or conical projection.
I’d say less regional and more with their backs to the sea except for a few isolated outposts that were bypassed.

Just think, were it not for Tea Party crazies like Angle and O’Donnell, Republicans had a real shot at taking back the Senate as well as the House.
