As your source(and others) point out, Clinton/dems were red in 92 and 96.

And as my source points out, GOP should be blue in 08.

[Mr. Mojo]

No, your source stated that the whole system was trashed in 2000 and that forever after the Dems would be designated in blue and the GOP red. (Which is true). But what's false is their assertion that there was an alernating system in place from '76 - '00. It's false, as I mentioned, because in the 1988 the GOP should've been red. ...which they weren't, as the map I posted plainly shows.

My original point stands: prior to 2000 the GOP was always blue. .....at least back to the late 60s. (Not sure about before then).
