UPDATED: A DAY LATER AND MEMORANDUM AND OTHERS NOTICE THE NEWS.
GOP STRONGHOLDS STILL BEST PLACES TO LIVE - ACCORDING TO PEOPLE VOTING WITH THEIR FEET AND WALLETS:
Texas, it seems, is the big winner. It added more people from home and abroad than any other state this year — 231,539. That is more than Florida, Arizona, California, Nevada and Colorado, combined.
Mr. Frey attributed this to a more diversified economy in Texas, and more conservative lending practices during the real estate boom. When combined with the state’s steady growth earlier in the decade, Texas is projected to receive three new seats in Congress, bringing its total to 35.
Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah and Washington would gain one seat each, according to an analysis of the figures by Andrew A. Beveridge, a Queens College demographer.
States that would lose a seat include Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Ohio would lose two, leaving it with 16.
MAYBE ALL THOSE UNHAPPY NY'ERS WOULD BE HAPPIER IN TEXAS.
AND IF THEY SWITCHED TO THE GOP!
AND IF THEY BECAME CONSERVATIVES.
