Talk:Purple America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Purple America is a political concept in the USA of the people who want to combine the values of the red, Republican states, with the tastes of the blue, Democratic states."

This is a pretty foolish sounding sentence. What are the values of the red states and the tastes of the blue? Besides being unclear, it is also rather stereotypical: It implies that blue states have no values and red states have no tastes. This type of broad-brush characterization does not seem consistent with the notion of "purple america".

[edit] Not as divided-

and how? The purple imlpys a 50/50% partisian split, correct? Therefore, most counties 'are' as equally divided as the media says, am I right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.106.36.134 (talk) 01:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
