The Red states get redder and the Blue states get bluer.........
I agree, but is Ohio turning blue? With the layoffs and employment situation...I just see that state turning more Rat. But as Ohio turns more RAT, Florida turns more republican.
In the end the Republicans are in the better situation because the Rats get the votes of the depressed states where the population will be shrkinking (or growing slower than the boom states). Republicans get the votes from the boom states which means every 10 years they get an edge in house seats.
The blue states are turning purple
That's somewhat true in CA. Many repubs have left the state and moved back to the middle of the country - making that area even stronger than it was before.
