Red-letter means simply 'memorable or important, esp. in a happy or favorable way'. \n\nThe expression comes from the long-established practice of using red ink to indicate holy days in ecclesiastical calendars. A red-letter day--literally a day written in red letters--was a holy day, or church festival, and thus came to mean 'any memorable or happy day'. \n\nRed letter meaning 'a red letter that indicates a holy day on a calendar' dates at least to the fifteenth century; the expression red-letter day is first found in the early 1700s.

It's not an official thing, it was just a convenience on election newscasts.\n\nIt does have the advantage of the mnemonic: Red/Republican (and, yes, I kinda like the irony that the former red-biters are now, themselves, red).\n\nIt wasn't until well into 2004 race that I realized "r for Red; r for Republican" and was able to keep them straight. Before I realized that, they just confused me.\n\nNow that they've caught on, I doubt it will change again. We've been using red and blue language steadily for some years now.\n\nSorry, I don't know the reason for the switch.
