COLOR HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS ELECTION!

No, Silly, not that kind of color--the color green. P-E-O (President-Elect Obama) raised money in guerilla fashion and in traditional fashion. It allowed the campaign to fight very hard in places which would have otherwise been conceded.

Because of the money, there is no more "map". There is just 50 battlegrounds.

Of course, that leaves the other issue: That McCain/Feingold thang really took the money out of politics, didn't it?
