Blue/Red States

[Parche]

I was watching the outgoing Tom Brokaw lately and he did a lot
of the political coverage, and something came to my attention
and I thought I was right on this
Democrats used to be Red and Republicans Blue
When did this change and why?

He also noted the Anthrax scare that happened back in 2001, and
they have never caught who did it, or even wondered why it happened
maybe blackmail?

Somebody posted a link to a full writeup not long ago.

On edit: It should be interesting now that "red state / blue state" has become such a media topic, whether they will flip the colors in 2008 and confuse everyone or perpetuate their own media creation.
