Tea Party Map

Unless the pundits understand the new political map of America, they will continue to wallow in their ignorance. The map is no longer Red and Blue but Yellow for Tea Party, Green for Anti-Tea Party, White for Potential Tea Party, Red for Republican and Blue for Democrat.

Kentucky, Florida, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, Wisconsin, Utah, Texas and South Carolina are Tea Party States (Yellow).

Colorado, Alaska, Georgia, Kansas, Nevada and New Hampshire are Potential Tea Party States (White)

California, New York, Delaware, Vermont, Maryland, Washington and Illinois are Anti-Tea Party States (Green).

Ohio is a Republican State (Red).

Oregon is a Blue State (Blue).

That would be a good start in the new political map.

I would define a Tea Party State as one in which a Tea Party candidate won a state wide race.

I would define an Anti -Tea Party State as one in which a Tea Party candidate lost badly in a state wide primary or general election race.

I would define a Potential Tea Party State in which a Tea Party Candidate narrowly lost a Republican primary and the Republican won the state wide race or the Tea Party candidate narrowly lost the general election race.

I would define a Republican State in which there was no credible Tea Party candidate and the Republican won the state wide race. In case of a split, you would go back to the last general election.

I would define a Democrat State in which there was no credible Tea party candidate and the Democrat won the state wide race.
