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).

I think the part you are missing is that there are two variables.
As for whether the method will be followed in 08, who knows. A lot of GOP rednecks like the red designation.
If it is a real, real big problem, the "true conservative" base could agitate for Bush to appoint a bipartisan commission to recommend a procedure/method to be used into eternity. Can you imagine all the fireworks that would create when Congress tried to legislate and act?
