Very good find. I'm enjoying reading up on the states voting histories.

It cracks me up how the description of nearly every red state has a line in it to the effect of: "except the landslide loss of Barry Goldwater in 1964." That particular election was a bit before my time, but I'm going to have to read up on it to see why everyone disliked the guy so much. :)
