About That Survey

Strange comment by Steve Benen at Crooks and Liars:

I’ve seen several long-term forecasts that suggest Dems are in trouble over the next couple of decades. People are moving away from “blue” strongholds (particularly in the Northeast), and relocating to “red” states that will grow in electoral significance.

This strikes me as somewhat bizarre, and I don't know what anyone is thinking: either people are moving away from "blue" strongholds because they can't stand the politics, which would be weird, but I guess stranger things have happened, or people who move from, say, Massachusetts to Texas are going to suddenly become BushCo conservatives.

Seems to me that people would take their politics with them.
