Voters look to their neighbours to determine their decision. John
Allen Paulos explains why a few swing states of borderline electors
will settle the US presidency
Thursday August 19, 2004
The Guardian
In recent years the US electorate has become highly polarised. Large
contiguous regions of the country (the red states) favour the
Republicans, other large contiguous regions favour the Democrats (the
blue states), and relatively small regions in between (which we might
label purple) constitute the so-called battleground states.
There are many reasons for this dichotomy, but some light may be shed
by an abstract model introduced in 1999 by Joshua Epstein of the
Brookings Institution (Learning to be Thoughtless: Social Norms and
Individual Computation).

Isn't red the recognised colour of socialism - it seems a bit strange that
Republicans should be coloured red, or is that the colour of their necks?
