balance that existed in the one hundred years from Appamatox until the election of Nixon in 1968? Up until then Democrats fared best to the south of the Mason Dixon Line, through the southern parts of IN, IL, OH, and MO, across OK, TX, into AZ and NV. Republicans fared well in the areas to the north.

Could we be returning to that balance, except with the GOP and the Dems changing places?
