What was more surprising: how the breakdown between states with more dangerous drivers and safer drivers fell almost completely along the lines of the 2008 McCain-Obama election, with the Republicans again coming up on the short end.
The hottest flame color is white, with the absolute temperature dependent on the fuel/mixture burned. Flame color depends on several factors, the most important typically being blackbody radiation and spectral band emission, with both spectral line emission and spectral line absorption playing smaller roles.

In fact black body radiation has a small role in the color of the flame: putting in 700nm (for blue) in the equation yields over 3500 degrees celsius while the temperature of a gas stove flame is about 1700. The colors are a result of, as was mentioned in the comments, ionization of gas molecules.
