Red states?
How did that come about? 'Red' used to be anathema to the GOP.
There were plenty of Red scares, so-called, in the 1950s.
Yeah,
with good
REASON, but we
won the Third World War,
so we coud relax, after the
Reds went out of business.
How it came about is that one of the networks (maybe all of them)
decided to show wins n losses in the election of 2000
in a map thusly colored for
W and Gore.
