Since 1856, Pennsylvania has sent 440 more Republican electors than Democratic electors to the Electoral College, the most of any state. But Pennsylvania is a big state. Little-bitty Maine (4 electoral votes) and Vermont (3 electoral votes) would need to vote straight Democratic until the year 2152 to flip over to become an All-Time Blue State. On the other hand, Minnesota and New Mexico could flip to become All-Time Blue States after the next election in 2008.
