I'm finding the whole blue = liberals, red = conservatives thing confusing myself. Surely blue = conservative and yellow = liberals?

Although most conservatives regard liberals as cowards, we don't say so out loud, most of the time. Except for Rush Limbaugh, who says so throughout most of his daily air time.

Once upon a time, conservatives (Republicans) were Blue and Democrats (Liberals) were Red, but one day the democrats woke up and realized oooh, gosh ... Red = Commies??? We gotta switch colors. And that's how we started talking about Conservative Red States vs. Liberal Blue States in the 2000 Election.
