Today there appeared a Wall Street Journal article describing the millions of people leaving California and a Los Angeles Times article describing the dire straits of the Republican Party in California. COTTonLINE believes these two phenomena are closely related.
The people leaving California are voting Republican with their feet. They are moving to states where their conservative values are respected, are enacted into law. Who is left behind in the rapidly tarnishing Golden State? Democrats, mostly.
One expects to see billboards alongside Interstate highways 40 and 80 with the following message: "Will the last Republican household moving out of California please turn out the lights."
