Does anyone else feel a bit uncomfortable with calling the conservative victory "Red America".

Wasn't this a Dem ploy from 2000? I seem to recall that originally (and briefly) they were coloring Gore states red and Bush states blue, but apparently the media were afraid the "red" would carry the obvious connotations and switched them. Don't recall the details.

Considering their homosexual inclination the blue color is a correct one.

" ... apparently the media were afraid the "red" would carry the obvious connotations and switched [Democrats to blue]."

My memory is that in 1980 when Reagan swept the country, all his states were shown as blue. This election feels mighty like 1980 otherwise ... thank God.

In 2000,the MSM said that blue was always used for the incumbent's color and red for the challenger.

I wondered about their explanation back then.

Now,I'm sure in my own mind that it was BS and they're simply afraid of giving "commie red" to the Dims because it would be so fitting and cause more people to see the obvious.
