Sourcing the Sag

For those watching the state of the current administration, some markers:

SurveyUSA, which has come up with some interesting new ways to use data to understand the Red state/blue state thing, has new polling data; MyDD has taken the data and made a map that shows the red pretty much fading from the U.S. as a whole. Only 3 states and a small percentage of counties are still red. (It looks like that includes the one I live in, although Bush's approval ratings have dropped 28% in the state.)

Reaction to the president's speech on immigration has been swift and heavy, and from browsing reaction linked on Memeorandum today, seems to represent more erosion of the conservative base.
