9 State changes

This year we had 9 states go to the Democrats that went to Bush 4 years ago. This is no small thing. With this information is it possible that there is no such thing as a pre-determined red or blue state?

I tend to think that there are red and blue states, but that every election year the circumstances can totally change that. So candidates cant count on a state just because it tents to go red or blue. Nothing should be taken for granted, and thats the way it should be. Each election year is new and everyone has the right to change there mind, no matter who they voted for last time. Just because someone voted for Obama this year does not mean they must in 2012, why would a state act the same?
