Will the media use the traditional Red Blue designations this year?
Traditionally, red stands for the challenger and blue for the incumbent. So Kerry states should be red and Bush states blue. But red and blue have come to be so strongly associated with Repub and Dem now that I suspect most media will stick with red for Bush and blue for Kerry and abandon the incumbent/challenger tradition. Does anyone know for certain?

1. I think it's pretty apparent what they're going to use.
Given the media constantly calls them "red" for Republican and "blue" for Democratic states, I don't see them switching it up all of a sudden.
