The above picture is the epitome of US elections 2008.
Reds or Republicans are conservatives and Blues or Democrats are liberals.
Reds seem to be strong in hinterland, while Blues are strong in border areas or coastal areas.
Probable reason why Blues are strong in coastal areas or border areas is, people who live in these areas are exposed to other cultures who would have to enter US through these regions. Thus, the more likelihood of clash of cultures and which soon settles down and people of difference race/religion/languages start to coexist inspite of all these differences.
Probable reason why Reds are strong in hinterland is the exact inverse of the above i.e. people in hinterland have a lesser likelihood of interacting with people of other cultures and thus, grow more resistant to "change".

Worst explanation I've ever heard. To point out just one flaw, you're ignoring that the map changes a little every four years. Florida, for example, is a swing state.
