« Falling For Bredespin | Main | Rolled » July 13, 2005Sunny Days AheadDoes the nation's ongoing population migration to the south and southwest portend sunny days ahead for the Republican Party in national elections? Perhaps. But while the migration of people into heavily "red" states may boost the GOP in presidential election electoral math, there's another impact it's going to have that is not as pleasant: an increasing influence of liberal former Yankees on local politics in the suburbs of the cities of the south and southwest.

I did this quick study right after the Census shift in 2000. This represents how the electoral vote in 2000 would have differed if you applied the 2000 census that most closely represented the population at the time. Bush - Gore This basically gave Bush a 14 point head-start in the last election and I think the trend will continue. The next census won't make any real difference to us until the 2012 presidential election but with the trend the way it is southern states Republicans should pick up many more electors if the states are not diluted to the extent that they swing Democrat.
