Here's the one thing that has intrigued me about the state of elections these days -- how did the current red and blue state designations come to be? When I was at the Reagan Library last year, a map of his 1980 victory had the states he carried in blue while Carter's was in red.
Secondly, to use some, I guess, outdated stereotypes, wasn't the left formerly accused of being red (the old Communist line), while many conservatives were painted as elitist blue bloods?
By the way, it was interesting being back up here in the New York area for election day -- we got three states worth of attack ads, including one for my new old district.
In other news, when I saw Borat, I couldn't help but think a lot about this guy. And apparently, so did he, as he's now asking for an apology.
