I'm sorry if this issue has already been discussed here; a cursory search did not reveal anything, though.

I was excited to see that there's a 2008 version of The Political Machine; I purchased it last week.  One thing I noticed however, is that, with this version, the states turn shades of green, based upon certain criteria (I am not even sure how that specifically works). In the 2004 version however, the states would conveniently turn shades of red, or shades of blue, based upon which candidate was leading in them.

It was very convenient and useful, because you could easily and quickly see, throughout the country, which states your candidate was solidly winning, and which states your opponent was solidly winning, and in which states each candidate had a slight lead.

Now, with only shades of green used, I have to click on each state, and see what the situation is, in it.  This slows down playing time significanly.

I am thinking that perhaps I have the map on the wrong setting, or something.  Please let me know if there is anyway to make the color shading red-ish and blue-ish again.  Thank you!!
