I've wondered recently why the republicans are red and the democrats are blue. ( as seen in election results ) It seems that the republicans were always blue on the maps. Have I not been paying attention or are they switched now and then? I always thought that when I saw a democrat win a state and it turned red that it was appropiate, commie red. The incumbent party was always blue and the challenger red, Though with all the attention to the Blue States/Red States thingy it now might stay as Repub=Red, Rat=Blue.
Thanks, I did not know that.
