All red on the night

Both Republicans and Democrats draw comfort from Labour's historic
election win, writes Julian Borger in Washington
Friday May 6, 2005
Karl Rove watched the early returns trickle in on a big screen at the
British embassy last night, and then when the shape of result began to
emerge, he donned a red rosette and walked away.
It was a suitably ambivalent gesture for George Bush's ever-present
political mastermind. In the United States over recent years, the
symbolism of the colour red has become the opposite of its meaning
everywhere else in the world. It signifies conservative, patriotic,
gun-owning, evangelical, Republicanism.
