In Latin America, leftist parties are called "Colorados" and right wing parties are often called "Azules". The flag of almost any communist country, for example China or the old USSR, has a red field. Another example of American exceptionalism done no doubt to drive Europeans crazy or to reinforce their feeling of smug sophistciation in contrast to the mouth-breathers who vote for people like Huckabee.

A relief to see so few vote for the "truth" of Ron Paul. It seems that Huckabee's "abolish the IRS" mantra is sucking votes away from Ron Paul. Still, I've long considered MO to be a state chock full of Republicans. Interesting to see so many votes cast as Democrat. Equally interesting to see Obama take the citified counties while Hillary takes the rural areas. What's the racial demographics involved here, if any?

After all, doesn't the right-wing like to equate Democrats with "Reds" and "pinkos"? I’ve often wondered how the “blue” and “red” designations became tradition.
