21. It's not state by state anyway, it's urban/rural.
That becomes obvious when you look at the county by county map. The "red states" are just the states where the urban vote is not big enough to overcome the rural vote...or, you know, the ones in the South, but that's a whole different story.

How you bridge the urban/rural divide is the real question, and I'll say it again, it's going to involve going after the money. We can't win it just on social issues and clearly it's going to be a long fucking time before most of America has much of a grasp of how foreign policy actually works. Economic justice is our best shot, and rural America needs that just as bad as urban America does.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder
