I just don’t get it-—why would anybody in the world support the Democratic Party? Anybody?

I can’t speak for others but my mother’s family settled in Arizona. They moved out there from Texas in the early 20th century. My mother was 1st generation American of Mexican descent. All of my cousins, uncles, aunts who reside in Arizona are very conservative. They despise liberals in general and Obama in particular.

As you said, Florida is a purple state, the panhandlers and the Ft.Meyers area will be republican, but in the I4 corridor it is changing.

Arizona has a national reputation for hard-core conservatism, despite McCain's long tenure as Senator…

There we go.

Orange County, California is another area that used to be considered strongly conservative. Now, after an influx of immigrants, that’s all changed. The same thing is happening all over the country. And the Stupid Party has allowed and even encouraged it.

[…] most of my neighbors and friends have registered as independents because the GOP is not conservative enough.

Yep.
I registered independent when I moved because it was obvious the GOP was pushing hard for craptacular candidates like Romney.
Indeed, I ended up casting my vote for my State's former governor, Gary Johnson, who was the Libertarian Party's candidate.

Amnesty is the only solution. Right McCain?

Rat demographics “experts” in 2000: “Texas will be a swing state by 2008”.

Nothing is inevitable. Nothing.

Hitlery was going to be President in 2008.

Dewey was going to be President in 1948.

The “peace dividend” from the Soviet breakup in the 90s meant fewer national defense worries.

Nothing is inevitable.

Always avoid always, never say never.

The Gay Mayor of Houston was on ALL the local news channels last night talking about her civil rights commission she is going to ask the City Council to approve so that no one is discriminated against. She is in her last term so I’m sure it’s going to be full throttle pro-gay issues for the next two years. Helping her in her quest to turn all of Houston Blue are the 250,000 new residents added just in the last three years. Austin is already Blue and most of San Antonio appears to have been annexed from Mexico. So the large population centers are pretty nearly all liberal.

The left can go pound sand in Arizona. We've got plenty of it to keep those losers occupied.

The most 'MERICAN state in the union!

Influx of Hispanics has been going on for many, many years. Is it possible at some point a charismatic Hispanic leader rises and tries to lead the state back into Mexico, ala Crimea??

I’ve found that to be true in Massachusetts. The most conservative activists are often un-enrolled voters.

>> Pollster: Arizona's switch from red to blue state 'inevitable' <<

Good, I would love to see all the red communist RAT bastards in Arizona purged (Kirkpatrick, Barber, Grijalva, Pastor, Sinema) and replaced with true blue conservatives.

Does this mean the pollster sees us taking Pastor's open seat in an upset? That would be awesome, I don't even think there's a Republican running for the seat yet because it's an extremely "red" stronghold. ;-)

It’s already a “blue state.” 5 out of 9 US Representatives from Arizona are Rats in safe seats.

Only 2 of them are safe Dem. Two are swing districts and the other is leans-Dem but winnable.

We have a so-called "non-partisan" redistricting commission infested with crypto-Leftists. They did a superlative job of gerrymandering the districts for 2010 and 2012. Hopefully the GOP plays hardball next time.

They always call Sinema’s seat “competitive” but it isn’t.
