The following map is of the current Governors of the 50 States. States colored blue have Democratic governors. States colored red have Republican governors. This map is current as of November 20, 2009.
Analysis
The most notable thing about this map is that no region is completely dominated by either party. The south (depending on how you define the south) still has Democratic governors, in Tennessee, North Carolina and Arkansas. Even in the northeast, where there are few Republicans elected for federal office, there are still Republican governors, in Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The significance of this map is that it proves that even if a political party has no chance of winning in Presidential races, or even congressional races, they may still be competitive in gubernatorial races.
