OT: One State, Two State, Red State, Blue State |
One State, Two State, Red State, Blue State

ON Dec. 19, the online magazine Slate corrected an installment of
"Moneybox," a recurring column by Daniel Gross. The article had
"reversed the states' electoral colors," the correction stated. "It's
the blue coastal states that opposed Bush, and the red states that
supported him."
The arbitrary, it seemed, had become axiomatic. Neither Mr. Gross's
column, nor the correction, referred to a particular map. Instead,
they both alluded to what has become, in the four years since the
Bush-Gore showdown, something of a Platonic political tableau - one
from which this simple, harmonic maxim now emanates: Democratic states
are blue, and Republican states are red.
