Be careful saying "none of these groups support Republicans". The number of Catholics, specifically among the "Northeastern transplants" and "Latinos", coming to the area has increased dramatically, and, despite the Kennedys, large numbers of Catholics often at least
register Republican in NC (whether they vote Republican, I can't say).
I also remember back when Jesse Helms was running (granted, that's been almost 20 years), and
45% of the transplant vote had gone for Helms. So don't be led into thinking that transplants are universally democratic or progressive.
