You'll find that most states are purple:

Very few "red" or "blue" states.
Good luck splitting that!

If you look at a map that break it down by county, you can see that any urban area is Kerry and most rural areas are Bush.
The map I saw was at electoral-vote.com, but it seems to be gone now.

yes, but the county maps don't really show how many people voted for the other guy - and a huge number of counties are within 5 points. the real republican landslides are in the plains states west of the mississippi and the mountain and desert states that aren't colorado or on the mexican border and certain parts of the south. and indiana for some reason has always voted republican except during the depression and the goldwater campaign. other than that, cities are usually strongly democratic, rural areas are divided but tend towards republicans.
and the counties northwest of milwaukee, wi usually vote strongly republican. but this is almost certainly because of silly wisconsinite nationalism (that is the area where the republican party got it's start).
what scares me is that there are counties out in like idaho and texas where bush got 92% of the vote. i'm pretty sure i've seen dictators hold fake elections that give them fewer points than that.
