If you compare how Obama did against how John Kerry had done four years earlier -- Democrats really like seeing this transition here, where almost every state becomes bluer, becomes more democratic -- even states Obama lost, like out west, those states became more blue.
オバマの状況を４年前のジョン・ケリーと比べるなら この推移に見てとれるように ほとんどの州がより青く より民主党寄りになっています 西部のようなオバマが落とした州でさえそうです
