Writing at Discourse, David Masci looks at the migration from Democrat-dominated “blue” states to Republican-run “red” states and lays out why he believes it happens. A lot has been written about this migration but I believe you’ll like Masci’s calm, even tone.
What’s new about this analysis is his assertion that the red state model simply fits today’s economy better than the blue state model. The blue state model, he believes, harks back to the conditions prevalent in the mid-1900s, and he appears to be correct. Hat tip to RealClearPolicy for the link.
