James Farley, who was FDR's Postmaster General and political fixer, referred to the US in 1936 as, "47 states and the Soviet of Washington."

Eastern Washington is Republican and conservative. The citizens east of the Cascades would be happy to join Greater Idaho is a way is found to do it.

That’s what I hear, but that has not been my experience. I have work colleagues in the rural areas outside of Spokane who are as commie-Lib as it gets. My two cousins who grew up in the shadow of the Emerald City moved out the the rural southeastern part for the hunting, fishing and fire-fighting. Both work for the government, so they and all their friends are either apolitical or Democrats.
