El Norte also is queer (which includes Newport Beach, California and Laredo, Texas in it). Granted, most of it has varying significant percentages of Latinos, who themselves within the region have varying voting patterns. Some of El Norte is trending Dem, and some of it isn't, including really Orange County, where the Latino influence is counterbalanced more or less by the increase of population is very well to do, and heavily GOP, South Orange County. Southern Comfort is another artifice. It is just heavily WASP and Anglo (low black percentages to boot), and for varying reasons on top of that, heavily GOP. Just what do the well to do WASP retirees in Naples County, Florida have to do with the Tyson's chicken folks in Northwest Arkansas, and the odd little partial slice of some Coonass Parishes?
The Green region is more cohesive, and indeed Green, but it has the lumberjack county of Del Norte in it (the northernmost county on the California coast), which should be excised.
