Don't forget. If you are in Alaska, and are Sarah Palin, you can see Russia.

Alaska is different, not being part of the heartland, but it is so huge and rural that it fits the red profile. And yet, it is becoming more and more of a swing state now, so far only leaning Trump. Originally, their first vote was very close between Kennedy and Nixon. Only LBJ has ever carried it for the Democrats, although handsomely. But JFK and HHH both came close against Nixon, who carried it barely.
