Is there any way we can switch the colors around? I've always thought the blue states should actually be red states and vice versa.

I believe someone in the media started this during the 2000 election returns. They didn't want to associate the Democrats with RED for the obvious reason, so they started calling the Bush states the Red States.

It used to be the other way around! Starting in 2000 with the county by county map the liberal weenies that run the Main Stream Media changed it to the color scheme you see today.
