[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the plethora Midwestern wing nut, Tea Party,  rabble rousers like Akin, Bachmann, Joe Walsh, Ron Paul, one would have to conclude Midwest women have no problem voting against their own self interests[/quote]

I think you have the midwest confused with the south. There are blue states and states that cross over from election to election. [/quote]

Aiken =. Mo,  Bachnann = Mn. Walsh = In. Paul kyt. I'm confused?[/quote]

Well, most if them don't prove anything except that you can find a conservative district practically anywhere. Aiken is going to lose statewide, Bachmann couldn't rise past her current level. And KY is the south, as is Texas so whichever Paul you are talking about that one isn't our fault.

Now if you want to look st states which are historical battlegrounds and therefore not rigid red or blue, look at this map.

Gosh of it was wingnut heaven then why are these states historically battlegrounds?

And if you want to see where the tea party is strongest, look here: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/patchworknation/staticmaps/teaparty.html

Gosh That map doesn't exactly make The Midwest look like tea party heaven.  You would have to say that honor goes to the west, and parts of the south.

Lastly look at how each region historically votes overall.  The Midwest is the region most likely to shift from red to blue:  http://www.gallup.com/poll/155597/midwest-west-competitive-regions-2012-election.aspx
[quote]The Democratic candidate has won in the East in each election since 1988.
The Republican has prevailed in the South in most elections since 1980, though Obama and John McCain tied in that region in 2008.
The West has tended to be more Democratic in recent elections, with the Democrat winning there each year since 1992 aside from 2004. Prior to 1992, Republicans generally won in the West.
The Midwest has generally been the most competitive and most likely to switch party allegiances, backing the Democrat in 1992, 1996, and 2008, and the Republican in 1988, 2000, and 2004. Thus, the Midwest has backed the electoral vote winner in each of the last six elections and the popular vote winner in five of the last six.[/quote]
