Californians, just pay your own debts, forgo your happy meal toys, starve your farmers of the water they need to survive, pay for your Blueberry Commission and Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, make your residents run to Austin, Texas to live in retirement so your libs can infect a good state with their assinine ideas about how everyone should live, build your Taj Mahal schools, pay for the food police in your schools and environmental cops, ask your residents to monetarily support your sanctuary city poor, adopt a retired state government worker to live with you when the pension well goes dry, pay for your own unemployment and onerous regulations while taxing carbon emissions and driving your businesses, who employ people, out of state, and don't come whining to the rest of us for more money to pay for your stupid political decisions. Three-quarters of you say you are headed in the wrong direction and yet we're seeing the same old plastic surgery distorted faces in office. Just go away and smoke your "medical" weed. I'll pray for those of you still hanging in there and trying to fumigate the loons out of office.
"The county-by-county map, from the Secretary of State website, tells the tale: Whitman won in a substantial majority of the counties, but the voters in the “safe” Democrat strongholds – the oldest and densest urban concentrations – went overwhelmingly for Brown. The same pattern held true for Fiorina and the other statewide races. The reason this effective political majority buys the facile untruths and bromides of the California Democrat is that the majority is composed of constituencies that seek to profit from that purchase. The constituencies are concentrated in the two megalopolitan urban areas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. They are a tight coalition of victim- and ethnic-politics organizations, welfare organizers and their clients, academics, public policy advocates, service-employee and teacher unions, and dilettantes from the entertainment and tech industries. Their top priorities are welfarism, across-the-board preferences, union benefits, and policy initiatives that create sinecures in government employment, as well as generating new rent-seeking opportunities in environmentalism, health care, and energy."
This is slightly old from 2005, but I'm being lazy right now.
The first 10 states as receiveing top federal tax money are all "red" states. The bottom 15 states are all "blue" states and they pay way more than they receive back.
and as you said yourself, the study is over 5 years old.
You live in a sparely populated state in the huge shadow of California. President Obama is highly regarded in the largest state [population] of the nation; a state that slapped down Arizona when your state got all racist. It really doesn't matter how Arizona votes since it is insignificant and so out of sync with the rest of the Western U.S. California views Arizona as a "Southern" state and will do whatever it can to encourage Latinos votes to kicked the racists out and into the South were they belong. That should not take too long either!
Enforcing the laws that the the U.S. government won't
is racist
Obama is being urged by his far left supporters to ignore the new Congress in January and to impose his will on the American people by using Executive Orders and Executive Branch regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). For example, he will grant amnesty to millions of illegals in this country and continue to block both Federal and State agencies form arresting those entering our country illegally.
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
- Norman Thomas, former U.S. Socialist Presidential Candidate
For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
In states like CA, NV, and CO the large Hispanic vote made a big difference. Here in Nevada for example exit polls found Sharron Angle beat Harry Reid among non-Hispanic whites by 10 percentage points, While Reid won in all minority groups by a massive margin.
I can't find the 2009 numbers. But they are very similar. The red states are heavily subsidized.
Yes red states like Alaska get a lot of government money for various projects. However when it comes to welfare California takes more than it's share. It is the ultimate welfare state. I would have to look up the exact stats but CA has around 11% of the U.S populaton but something like 30% of the welfare cases,

The #1 offender is a hardcore blue state, New Mexico, West Virginia, regular Virginia, and Washington D.C. are also near the top and are heavy blue states:
Only 5 states have bragging rights to a positive balance. Texas outperforms California.

Thank you for clearing that up. Some people just look a figures without fully understanding what they mean.

Republicans are finding out painfully that by alienating Latinos they will lose in the West!

Conservatives are alienating illegal aliens, any other claim is ignorant racism.
