You know, the recent designations of "blue" for the Dems and "red" for Pubbies is really starting to tick me off. Prior to this last (2000) election it was the Rat areas of the map that were always shown in (commie) red, while the GOP areas were in (freedom) blue. But the media did a little switcharoo, and not too many people noticed.

The incumbent party in the presidential election is traditionally represented by blue, the challenging party is represented by red.
