(For those outside the U.S., a word of explanation. For some reason, political mappers showed votes for Al Gore in _blue_ and votes for Bush in _red_. I have no idea how this came to be.
It's been done that way for years on television vote tallies. They never use, say, purple and orange, almost always red and blue (and green, I think for independents). I'm not sure, but I think GOP has always been red and Dems have always been blue. -- J. Eric Townsend -- http://www.spies.com/jet Were you in USASSG/ACSI/MACV in Vietnam, 1967-1970?
