It still pisses me off that the Dem media reversed the color associations during the 2000 elections. republicans had always been true blue patriots, Dems were red, the traditional color of communists going back to the 1800sThe color map flipped in 1984.
I remember one commentator (I think Peter Jennings) saying the networks chose the changed map because it sounded closer in pronunciation, Reagan -- Red. He said it would be easier to associate that way.

Tim Russert was the one who arbitrarily assigned red to the GOP. Idiot.

This is what was done beginning in 2000. Nobody called the GOP the “Red” party until that Orwellian media switcheroo that year.
