The New York Times has produced a unique map (above, click to see larger version) comparing voting patterns in the 2008 presidential election with those in 2004. In brief, those areas in blue indicate regions that voted more Democratic compared to last time; the areas in red indicate regions that voted more Republican.
Other than Arizona, only Arkansas and Tennessee moved more decidedly to the Republicans. East Texas, southtern Louisiana, northern Alabama, the Florida panhandle and a large swath in Appalachia also went redder than last time.
Draw your own conclusions.
