Let's test this. I inverted the colors on that map, so the Democrats are red and the Republicans are blue. Which looks stronger?
To me, the color really doesn't make a difference; what strikes me is the relative size of each area, and the Republican block still looks more intimidating than the Democratic ones.
It might be worth noting that I've always seen the southern U.S. as a value enemy of sorts - I'm a politically liberal atheist in South Carolina - so I'm wondering if that might play into my perceptions of this. Can we test this with another map?
