Red and blue on election maps...?

Question

Some of you might think I'm stupid, but this annoys me every time I see it: The way they use red and blue on election maps in the USA nowadays.

I wish they'd change the damn colors back to the way they are in every country except the one that has a liberal media trying to play mind games with their voters (this one.. Russert and co. switched the colors in Y2K): Red for the socialist/communist/far left, blue for conservative. I mean, come on... You don't wear a conservative red suit, you wear a conservative blue suit.

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Answer 1

Well, you can't use black and white. That could be called racist.
Just about any other color combination could be construed to be representative of something or the other.

What colors do you suggest? Purple and green?

Answer 2

Illinois. Chicago is so nicely-customary for the Graveyard Vote that for the duration of 1979, rigidity Time Radio host Steve Dahl ran a chain of fake commercials for "The Committee to Re-p.c.. Da Boss." the thought of the commercials grew to grow to be into that by potential of certainty optimal of voters saved on balloting for Daley the Elder as at as quickly as as they died, Daley shouldn't ought to offer up the Mayor's Seat purely by potential of certainty HE died, in 1976.
