The Bolsheviks took this color and nickname in memory of its appearance in the French Revolution of 1848, and in opposition to the Whites (q.v.).
Political observers subsequently latched on to this association, which resulted from the use of red for Republican victories and blue for Democratic victories on the display map of a television network.

 Election result maps
The (contiguous 48) states of the country are colored red or blue to indicate whether a majority of their voters voted for the Republican candidate (George W. Bush) or the Democratic candidate (John F. Kerry) respectively.
That is, states are drawn with a size proportional not to their sheer topographic acreage -- which has little to do with politics -- but to the number of their inhabitants, states with more people appearing larger than states with fewer, regardless of their actual area on the ground.
Robert Vanderbei at Princeton University, is to use not just two colors on the map, red and blue, but instead to use red, blue, and shades of purple to indicate percentages of voters.

 [BRC-NEWS] The Color of Money and Black Political Empowerment
Checking political donations to political candidates must be part of efforts to make sure Black and minority voices are heard in elections, she said.
Campaign finance reform and Black politics "There is no more passing the mayonnaise jar around the community center to raise money for a campaign," said Mark Clack, deputy director of Public Campaign, a campaign finance reform group that oversaw compilation of the Color of Money report.
In the past, a candidate was considered unmarketable either because of inexperience or fringe political views, but today a person rooted in the community, with a solid record can be disqualified because he couldn't raise enough money, Clack said.

 TAP: Vol 8, Iss. 31. Indelible Colors. Todd Gitlin.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Appiah defines identities as "essentially contrastive," relating "centrally to social and political power." Identities, in other words, are ranks imposed from without—castes, in other circumstances—but, in the contemporary meaning of the term, they are also choices made from within.
Gutmann is at pains to argue (echoing Appiah) that, while race is a fraudulent construct for most analytical purposes—and for all just political purposes—color is a category that is legitimately deployed, because it comes with a history of privilege and dispossession.
To say that color consciousness is defensible in principle, of course, is not to say that it is always right.

 Political Culture
Political culture is a broadly shared system of beliefs on the nature of government and citizens’ roles within government.
The idea of political culture therefore attempts to explain why people behave the way they do in terms of the political culture of which they are a part - in terms not of their specific desires, but rather what they believe about what government should be like and how it should be run.
Political culture, and hence public opinion, starts with what is called political socialization: All of the elements that go into making any one person's outlook on political life.

 TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL POLITICAL CAMPAIGN - DESIGN COLOR
For a sign to be recognized it has to be of a color that is "out of place" - avoid khakis, gray and brown sign background colors.

Two color printing to produce a yellow/fl sign or a red/white/blue sign or a green/flourescent sign will always stand out with greater impact.

 Satya Nov 05: New Orleans and Women of Color by Janelle L. White
Women of Color Against Violence, a national organization of radical feminists of color organizing to confront violence against women of color and their communities (of which I support at the local level) that was the first text I read regarding this issue.
This is the more difficult abuse to speak of, especially for women of color, as we have no desire to aid further in stereotyping, demonizing, and criminalizing men and boys of color, particularly men and boys of African descent.
In generating a macro-level political understanding of this disaster in relation to other issues of social justice—such as global warming, the war on Iraq, environmental racism, police brutality, or violence against women—I urge us to start with the personal experiences of those impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

She argues that American politics cannot be fair to all citizens by being color blind because American society is not color blind.

 CNN.com - Rock star Bono pushes for AIDS funds - Dec. 4, 2003
But instead of performing before tens of thousands of fans, Bono was focused on a much smaller, but targeted audience: the U.S. political leaders who could help him get the promised funding for the global AIDS crisis flowing to the people who need it most.
Insisting he was "drained of all political color," Bono took pains to stay away from partisan fingerpointing when arguing that the promised AIDS funding was not getting to the people who need it the most.
Bono admitted there was some political wrangling when the president proposed $2 billion for fiscal 2004, a billion less than the $3 billion the president outlined in his State of the Union address in January when he unveiled his AIDS initiative.
