They should both be purple, but I think the black lines indicate "undecided."

New England GOP postpones conference, even before election 'thumping'

By Andrew Ryan, Globe Correspondent

There will be no rousing speech tonight to kick off the New England Republican Council's issues conference
at the Harvard Club in Back Bay. There will be no cocktail hour, no cigars, no breakout sessions, no featured
speakers and no GOP networking.

That's because this weekend's conference, which organizers hoped would draw some 150 Republicans from
all six New England states, has been rescheduled for late April. As Election Day approached and anticipation
rose about what President Bush would eventually call an Election Day 'thumping,' the cancellations began.
Most said they would be too busy after a long campaign season.

"Reading between the lines, I think they were also a little down because the way things were going," said
William C Sawyer, a long-time Republican State Committee member in Massachusetts who is spearheading an
effort to resurrect the council conference.

Snip--->

Organizers decided that party members would need a little time before they gathered
in the country's bluest state in what would become one of the
largest tidal waves of Democratic victories the country has ever seen.
In Massachusetts, Democrats won back the governor's office after 16-years of GOP
control and now have all six statewide offices.
In the Legislature, Republicans are outnumbered roughly 7-to-1.

"When we started this thing, we were looking at the plight of the party in Massachusetts,"
said Sawyer, noting that now only 12.5 percent of the state's registered voters are
card-carrying Republicans.

"Little did we know that today in every state the Republican party was in trouble." <--snip :rofl:

:dem: :woohoo: :kick:

9. so, 1/3 of the country is sane

1/3 is utterly insane

and 1/3 is just crazy enough to be dangerous

13. I think there should be more to consider than Senators.

For example, NH, for the first time in close to a hundred years, has a Democratic state leg, governor and two Congress critters. I'd say the Granite State has turned purple with just a hint of blue.
