Actually, the majority of states are having budget issues for three major reasons that I know of, and none of them are directly attributable to Democrats or Republicans:
1) Out of control public worker pension payouts
2) Huge investment losses from the stock market taking a dump
3) Popped housing bubble = plummeting housing prices = lower appraisals = lower property tax revenue
Also, it's actually not as cut and dry as you say. There's lots of "conservative" red states with budget problems. Assuming that AK is "red" and HI is "blue" since they're not pictured on the red/blue map, here's the breakdown...
70% match
30% do not match
