If you go to this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2012#Results

then scroll down a little ways under the maps to where it says: Votes by state
you can play with the down/up arrows on the CHART to get different sort results in ascending or descending order - in all of the different columns

1. Texas blue in 2016. Georgia, SC too.

2. I think that's asking for a lot.

I think its going to take at least a couple more cycles for those states to even turn competitive. Obama's numbers in all three of them went down this year as compared to 08.

4. Texas will be blue

by 2020, certainly 2024.

8. I don't know about Georgia or South Carolina

I feel like if there's any Democratic candidate who could have won those states, it's Obama.

5. Know of any charts showing Dem/Rep presidential trends?

I swear even in Uta it feesl like there is a slow trend. Perhpas this years was a little off with huge Mormon turn out?

7. IMO if there truly was huge Mormon turnout it wouldn't make a difference

a) not enough of them in the right places
b) increase of possible Mormons voting probably minimal over past years
c) any increase possibly offset by those not voting because of Romney being a Mormon

6. 75% of 20 states with most votes were 4 Obama
