The GOP has only been identified as "red" since 2000. Before 2000, the GOP and Democrats alternated colors on electoral maps every 4 years.

I'm not sure that's true. I recall the current color assignment being in place at least since 1992.

Incidentally, the UK has the "opposite" color pattern (Labour red, Conservative blue), which I must say I find jarring (even if historically understandable).

See (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states) for some information on the U.S. and coloring maps.
