You forget that the election is based on the electoral college ( I believe wrongly so but that is another debate for another time.) Kerry, a super liberal senator came within one state, Ohio, of beating Bush in that election.
Also, many of those red areas have very few people in them. Rural areas tend to vote republican. If you add up all the people that live in the red areas and all the people that live in the blue you would find out it is pretty close in number.
