Wikipedia says it was CBS pushing for the red blue switch. CBS had been using red for Republicans since the 80s, as opposed to everyone else. Even in 96 most media used Red for Democrats and Blue for Republicans, which does make more sense. Was it a plot? " Some conservatives have suggested that left-leaning media outlets chose to switch the colors because using red for the Democrats would reinforce the perception that they are sympathetic towards communism and socialism. However, in the United States the word "blue collar" is applied to working people and may be associated with organized labor, which is generally supportive of the Democratic Party." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_state_vs._blue_state_divide#Origins_of_current_color_scheme
