I hate the way the person(s) drawing the map switched the color scheme 180 degrees
from what it usually is.

Usually R = Red = Republican.
Of course the other guys (Democrats) get the other color - blue.

I doubt that this "Blue = True Blue = Republican" will catch on.
It's much easier to remember R/R/R, IMHO.

As I recall, when they first started colored maps, Republicans were blue and Demos red.
