There is one thing we could do before the start of inauguration (and while waiting for Dems to get the act together): letter writing campaign (or along similar line, phone calling campaign).
Democratic party/ACT/... has a list of all Republican voters in the red states. Every blue state resident should make sure before now and the inauguration date to send a letter thanking the republican in the red state thanking them for taking your volunteering to give up their handouts.
Example: Dear Mr. Smith,
As you probably were aware when you voted for Bush, that your state takes in $1.40 for every $1.00 you pay in taxes. Thank you for volunteering to give up this privilege. Please join the Democratic and Republican party in repealing the unfair taxes that are used to support <fill in the red state name>. Also support strengthening the institution of marriage by writing your congressmen to vote on legislation to withhold grants to every state with above the average divorce rate (yours is ranked number 1).
You truly are the king of men,
From ....
