So why assume that the majority of migrants are blue state libs? Why would true blue kool-aid drinkers leave their paradise to live in the swamps and dank river valleys of the South?

I think it's probably more likely that northern conservatives are bailing. That's the case here in California where conservative coastal dwellers are leaving the blue cities and resettling in the red interior of the state.

BTW, the reference to swamps and river valleys in the above post was meant in the most charming and respectful way.

Assume? You presume.

• Retirees selling their expensive urban homes to retire in the countryside.
• Bureacrats taking over ranches and farms and converting them to "wildlands" (there are a lot of them).
• Urban refugees looking to escape their handiwork and telecommute from a ranchette.
• Illegal immigrunts looking for a service job taking care of the above.

Together, they sure as hell outnumber productive ranchers, farmers, miners, and loggers who don't have jobs any more (thanks to a Democrat funded environmental movemint), not to mention their now unemployed supporting infrastructure.
