Blue makes more sense really. Red is commonly associated with the left and communism.

Across the world Red is the left color and Blue is usually the conservative color. It's true in both UK and Canada.

The 2000 election solidified the color perception though, they aren't changing.

West Virginia is full of unionized miners. They have been a Dem stronghold for almost 100 years.


Minnesota had a lot of miners, too. Georgia, however, was dumb enough to elect him as governor and president. That takes a special kind of stupid.

It wasn’t party specific. Incumbent was red and challenger was blue.
