In New Mexico they look like a mosaic, and always have.

It seems that only yesterday American politics appeared to have found
its true colors: Republican Red and Democratic Blue, the visual
shorthand for an electorate that most thought had become immutably
divided by geography and partisanship into red states and blue.
But political fashions quickly changed, and so have the colors of this
year's political map.
States that were once reliably red are turning pink. Some are no
longer red but a sort of powder blue. In fact, a solid majority of
residents in states that President Bush carried in 2004 now disapprove
of the job he is doing as president. Views of the GOP have also soured
in those Republican red states.
[snip for brevity]
It would be interesting to see what the changes look like on a
county-by-county basis rather than a state-by-state basis . . .
