13. I saw the formula..

Edited on Thu Nov-25-04 12:25 AM by ahimsa

..something about alternating the color for the incumbent party every presidential election so if Bush is still lingering in the oval office in 2008, he should be blue and the democratic challenger red. We'll see if that actually continues or if this election managed to lock in the current color scheme. In other words, this is not a geographic division OR even a color division. It appears to be simply Republicans vs Democrats.

On edit:

Inc. Party   Year  Candidate  Color
-----------  ----  ---------  -----
Republicans  1976  Ford       Blue
Democrats    1980  Carter     Red
Republicans  1984  Reagan     Blue
Republicans  1988  Bush       Red
Republicans  1992  Bush       Blue
Democrats    1996  Clinton    Red
Democrats    2000  Gore       Blue
Republicans  2004  Bush       Red
