Many "blue" states, like Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, and Wisconsin are still voting for Republicans in many of the state races (governer, senate, etc.). And the reason is ignorance and misinformation by Rush and Fox News.

Until we see a real shift (not 50-48), then Fox News and Rush are winning with their message. Maybe not as much as 2000/2004 but they are still very relevant.
