Reliably red Kentucky has half as many people as oh-so-blue New York City. It's bigger geographically, yes, but it doesn't represent more of the country. 2. If a candidate wins a seat, it doesn't mean he/she got 100 percent of the vote. In fact the percentage of the vote for a winning candidate depends on how many people are in the field (e.g., the three-way gubernatorial race in Maine). Our job is to change the percentages. It's a numbers game. It's about registration and turnout and the nature of the competition.

Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota are huge and redMassachusetts and Connecticut are tiny and blue - yet have nearly double the population of those four states combined. Edit to add: Similarly - Montana, Utah, Idaho vs. the California coast - similar situation.

Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
That's the 2012 map. The 2014 map is even more demoralizing:http://media.cq.com/elections/2014/
