Which Party Will benefit from demographic change?

The Democrats. I think that the public is growing weary of the conservative trend of the last 25 years and the pendulum is going to begin to swing in the opposite direction again.

Why is Democrat Red and GOP Blue, rather than the other way around?

Back when Dave Leip was first making maps he used these colors.  They very well could be orange and green (as he states on the home page).  However, the media-being that they distort things have twisted around the meaning of what a 'red' or 'blue' state is.

Also, these have traditionally been the colors associated with the parties; the media's flipping of the colors is a recent phenomenon.

I prefer Dave's color scheme.
