edp828's definitions
A state that voted for the presidential canidate from the Democratic party. It would appear on a map as blue, while Republican-leaning states appear as red; a red state. This term, though new in its invention (circa 2000), does not have any exlusive relationship to a specific date or any single election: it is realitive.
Americans cannot understand abstract concepts unless they have corresponding colors. Thank you CNN for making us blue.
