Don't get too excited. This could be bad news. If libs are moving from the blue cr*p-holes to red states, they will eventually turn the red states blue. Look at New Hampshire, screwed up with Mass'ites.

This sounds like it was written by head-in-the-sand types like Michael Barone or the WSJ editorial page.

To some extent. For states like Florida and Nevada (fast-growing marginal red states) and, to a lesser extent, Colorado and Arizona (moderate red), that could play a role.
However, for states like Texas, that is not an issue...it would take a catastrophic collapse for Texas to go blue.

I agree. New Yawkers moving to Florida turns the Sunshine State more purple.

I agree. These stories always leave me wondering who writes them. The best outcome for this population shift will be when the 'rats leave a close or swing state, say Wisconsin, and bury themselves in a red stronghold like Texas or Georgia.

But they could also pollute a state which is now only marginally red, like Colorado or Nevada.

And unfortunately the blue states whence they came probably won't turn red since they'll be enough liberals remaining there to keep it democrat.
