Originally both parties used red, white, and blue as their colors; the association of blue and red started in 2000 with newscasters coloring the map to show the results. I'm not sure why the colors that were chosen were chosen, but ideology had nothing to do with it.
It's kind of a sad statement: both parties used to use the general unifying American colors; now they're strictly separated.
