I'm looking to move to Arizona (eventually) because it's WARM. Tired of being cold and wet up here in Seattle. Warmer weather is a BIG reason us baby-boomers are looking south. The older people get, the more likely they will find the cold unpleasant.

Go chat with people from states like MT, AZ, ID, WY, NH, and my very own state, VT (once a very conservative, republican state), about this. Out west it's largely Californians, here in the east it's people from southern New England moving to Northern New England.

proof is in the pudding. look at the state threads. look at the population of the cites.

Excuse me, but are you basing your claim that liberals move from blue states to red states on what you read here on City Data? Surely you can do better than that. If you want to be taken seriously, go get the statistics to prove that liberals are moving from blue states to red states.

The real reason was to get away from the snow.

But don't look at me, I'm moving back to a blue state.

There are red and blue counties within red and blue states:

how can you blame bush? also, we aren't placing blame. it was a simple question, which you obviously have a difficult time explaining.

Seriously.
Michigan has been a Democratic state for decades on all levels and should be a complete Utopia by now. It is far from it.

I live (and was born) in Charlotte, NC, and hardly anyone I run across was born here.
Nearly everyone is a transplant from NY or NJ.
People move here for our 'low cost of living', and 'family friendly lifestyle', yet vote in such a way to make this area like the one they escaped.
Insanity...
