We need a blue state/red state standard for electoral maps.

Some maps use red for Democrats and blue for Republicans. I prefer it the other way around. Such things need to be standardized. After all, I'd hate it if Tim Russert had a nervous breakdown on Election Night.

1. It usually works this way...

The incumbent party is usually blue, and the challenger red. So, in 2000, Gore was blue, Bush was red. In 2004, Bush will be blue, and the Democrat will be red.
