Here's a quick thought, one I ponder...
The US uses red for conservatives, and blue for liberals - Canada uses red for liberals and blue for conservatives.
Did they all get together and decide that because they knew that one day I'd be completely perplexed by this issue?

You too? I'm generally not middle of the road on any issue, I have firm opinions one way or the other but liberal or conservative confuses me. LOL

I remember back when George H.W. Bush ran against Dukakis (however you spell his name). Back then, Republicans were blue and Democrats were red. But that switched for Bill Clinton. The reason? In my opinion, it's because Red = Communism, and since it was easy enough for Republicans to say that Democrats are CommiLight (because, come to think of it, they ARE--just look at how the Democrats acted when the USSR was in power, and how they act toward Cuba, etc. today), they switched it in the media. I think it was a psychological ploy since historically the red banner has been used by the very people that the vast majority of Americans oppose.
Of course, since now-a-days no one teaches history anyway then the red loses its significance and doesn't really matter any more. Of course, that's just my opinion. So it must be right. :-P

Time was when the UK Conservative party (blue) were close to the US Republicans and the UK Labour party (red) were close to the US Democrats.
As a result, British coverage of US elections would have the Republicans in blue and Democrats in red. Which was fine until they broadcast US TV coverage which has red/blue swapped back.

Blame Tim Russert. It was his Red-Blue chart on election night 2000 that kicked off this whole red state-blue state thing. I don't believe the colors were this well defined before that night.
