It is something I HAVE thought about. I decided a long time ago that the networks were uncomfortable with using red to denote Democrats because of the association of that color with communism and socialism. It is just a little too close to the truth, and makes them uneasy.

I agree with you, so that means I believe your answer is right! On the other hand, there are three colors in the American flag. If red is a problem, why didn't someone choose white, the alternate color? Blue and white works for me.

But, it's all right to make you and me uncomfortable. Then they wonder why we don't watch them?
