Not Now Or Ever -- (Hardly Ever?)

This blog does not use the media-created color coding of states.  This so-called convention started with television in the early days of color broadcasts as a way of distinguishing which state went for which candidate.  In those days, the color of the party switched back and forth between elections.  If I recall correctly, the color was also different among the various networks.  Then after the scandal of the 2000 election, the media decided to stay with the same colors for the parties, and pundits on low light bulbs adopted the networks' choice.

Here at Democratic Campaign Watch such a scheme is considered inappropriate to a major nation.  It only adds to divisiveness and enables the quick tongues of the press who love to simply, amplify, and mystify.
