Does living away from the water eventually eat at your brain and turn you into a mindless, following, Republican zombie?
If it does, I'm going to have to think twice about moving...I don't want to turn into a mindless, following, Republican zombie...

The trend is based on differences in lifestyle seen in urban vs rural dwelling. Rural people have a different sort of existance compared to Urban people, which leads to differing mindsets and values. So, rural people *tend* to be Republican and urban people *tend* to be Democratic, and there are more rural centers on the two coasts, which accounts for some of the pattern you see across the US.

They are the HEARTland of AMERICA.
People living in the center of the country are more likely to be involved in agriculture and own their own businesses.
They KNOW what life is all about.
The have a stronger grasp on REALITY. They know if you don't get the job done you will fail.
They know they need a little help from God! Because even when they work successfully, something as simple as not getting rain when it is needed can cause you to have no paycheck for the entire year.
It is a different but very responsible view of LIFE.
They are generous to a fault because they KNOW people need help.
They know people are better served by their own communities than by the federal government.

No its more than likely because these are rural areas, small towns, etc. These folks dont have the same issues in their lives as people that live in more populated areas, its only natural that the two groups would have differing beliefs when it comes to politics

If you look at the counties that vote red you will notice that even the bluest state has normally more than 70% of counties voting red. In the central US you don't have large metropolitan areas, that's why they are majorily 'red'. Look at New York -- outside of Buffalo and New York City (and one or two cities that I don't remember) they are all red.

Any evidence for that?
A link to a map of red vs blue states would be helpful.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who observed this phenomenon. It has to be because of the isolation from the rest of the world has lead to their closedmindedness

That's actually a good question.
Most of the farmland in the U.S. is in the interior. Farmers tend to be hardworking, industrious fellows - which pretty much means that they can't be demoncrats.

The Blue States are where the money is.
Red States are welfare states.
Dependent on government handout.
So much for all that independence Conservatives/Republicans brag about.

Well, if you look at the total coastal areas, including Alaska, your point is moot.
My question is why are most of the states PERIOD, red states?
