Even the county maps don't really tell the whole story though, especially when it comes to big population centers. Bush could have had 0%-49% of the vote in Miami and it would still be blue, Kerry could have had 0%-49% of Tampa, but it's still red. If Kerry had taken 100% of the Las Vegas vote, I garauntee Nevada would be blue.
