Sea of red, or not?

This is an image of "red" and "blue" states as of the 2004 election. Seems like a sea of red. It's the most dominant, as if the blue has been marginalized or retreating.



This is the same image based on population. More people live in blue states than in red ones. Rhode Island, with a population of 1.1 million is roughly twice the size of Wyoming, which has 500,000.
