I've heard that described that way actually. Actually, this map shows the trend toward democratic leadership, not actual electoral votes.

Ah, "democratic leadership" ok... does it also then show the "popular vote" as it were?

Nope. This map only shows the trend toward democratic leadership, not popular vote. For instance, in 2004 if a county voted 100% Bush it would be red, however in 2008 if 50% voted Obama - purple, or 25% McCain, light blue, 100% Obama, dark blue.

On second thought, yeah, it's kind of a "popular vote." But not in the way we normally think.

The map shows a definite trend toward blue, even if electorally the county elected McCain.

I hope I'm not confusing you??
