So are these red people upping the Congressional delegations of the red states, or blue people making the red states bluer?

Maine saw a net flight of the young in the 90's that was 4-5 time greater than teh national average.

As socialism destroys economies and Maine is socialist (the only industry growing in Maine is government)folk flee when they are presented with the resulting combination of #1 tax burden for income and #37 wages paid.

New Englanders who experience reality, and decide that they will be better off in a Red State will, I am sure, become good Conservatives if they are not already.

For myself, I'm no longer in the "young" category, but my Mass. roots go back 300 years. Lived here all my life. Never considered going anywhere else -- until about a year ago. It just plain sucks to live here.

I think they are running off young heterosexual adults. Bush-Cheney carried 97 of the 100 fastest growing counties in the US. I bet most of the people leaving New England are moving to those counties. Massachussetts has the lowest birth rates in the country. I think they will actually lose population in the next census not just lose representation.

Unfortunately it looks like the Locust Liberals have turned New Jersey solid blue and are in the process of doing the same to Colorado.

These are Blue people that will be makeing the Red States Blue-er. Enjoy your purple (barf). Anyone who is raised in, or has lived in CT, will never be true Red. We are a tainted people, and it starte when we're young. Send us back. Do not accept us! Preserve your precious homeland.

Folks that are 30-60% conservative and move into your 70%+ conservative state will dilute it to like 50% in no time! I'm concerned...very concerned.
