That same map looks a little better for us in 2008, because a lot of the green states have more votes, and the blue ones have fewer.
I miss the days when they changed the colors on the map every time, and when the colors were for incumbent and challenger.
I really hate being stuck with the color “red”. Blue is cooler, but I’d really like to have had either Orange or Purple.
Yeah, the media sure ingrained red/blue during the 2000 election. Quite annoying, but it’s a sound bite.
