The far West, The great lake states, and the Northeast (democrat). The Great plains states, southeast, and much of the south (Republican). Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Indiana, and Ohio are the battle ground (flip flop) states. Ohio and Florida are the main ones that could go either way. Republicans are extremely conservative. Republicans favor a traditional lifestyle, laissez-faire system; believe the government should stay out of business and not put a bunch of regulations on them/lower taxes, rugged individualism; people should not rely on the government(self-sufficient), cut taxes, trickle-down theory. Democrats favor change in society, people have complete of what they want to do and how they want to live, government should regulate business and give people as much as they need whenever they need it, involvement in the ways of society, increase taxes and support programs. Democrats think burning the flag is political speed and is protected by the constitution, while Republicans are totally against it. Democrats believe strong regulations are needed to protect the environment, however Republicans believe that strong environmental laws harm the economy. Democrats believe that strong anti-discrimination laws are needed, Republicans believe that people and businesses can be trusted not to discriminate.
