Have you looked at the states? More Republican governors and legislatures... that is where the future of the party is; not the Republicans in Congress.

That’s what Rick Santorum has been saying. Don’t wait for congress to save us because its not going to happen. The states are our last line of defense and they’re actually stepping up.

You have no idea how big it is for Michigan to go right to work with a RINO heavy state government and they’re showing more stones than our congress in DC.

“Have you looked at the states? More Republican governors and legislatures... that is where the future of the party is; not the Republicans in Congress.”

What you say is true about the increase of Republican governors and legislatures, but it has pretty much been the result of the red states growing “redder”.

At the same time, the blue states are getting bluer. How long until Massachusetts or New York state elect Republican legislatures and governors again? Or Illinois or California?

What these trends indicate is that the divisions between the red and the blue states are growing more stark. Look at the differences in how states like Montana and Texas responded to the Sandy Hook shooting, vis-a-vis states like New York and Massachusetts.

What was it that Rudyard Kipling said about “The East” and “The West”?
