According to stats posted by a leading manufacturer of sex toys, anyway. Of the 10 states listed as the...uh... most enthusiastic and frequent purchasers of its products, seven were "red states" in the 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 Presidential elections:

Then again, it could be both, which is even scarier. :-) I venture no opinion as to what's up with the three blue states, all three of which are snuggled up to one another in the American Northeast. It's cold up there, so maybe they have to snuggle up to each other in the winter so much it's lost it's novelty, and they need a little something to buzz things up. This gives new meaning to a few of these states' mottos. West Virginia's is "Mountaineers are always free," and now we know exactly *how* free. And in Idaho, we now can only hope that when they invoke "Let it be perpetual" that by "it" they don't mean their orgasm. :-)
