From an article about yesterday’s Census report at RedState.com, there was this comment on New Hampshire:
"swami7774 (Tuesday, December 21st at 3:26PM EST): Massachusetts libs moving to tax-free NH has turned that state from reliably GOP to swing status–at best (at the presidential level, anyway)."
To which I replied with the following:
Au contraire! New Hampshire is now reliably Red for the foreseeable future. In the 2010 elections it flipped so violently Republican that the GOP has veto-proof majorities in both houses of the state legislature, and the governor-overseeing Executive Council is 100% GOP. In addition, the Republicans flooding into political office aren’t RINO’s or even weakling Main Street "moderates." They are fire-breathing liberty Republicans. That trend will increase with the continuing in-migration of Free State Project participants.
Finally, those who move out of Massachusetts and into New Hampshire are generally among the most conservative and reliable of GOP voters. They have seen the dead-end morass of socialist statism in Massachusetts, and want nothing more of it. This is why many of the voting districts on the southern border of New Hampshire are among the strongest and most reliable Republican-voting districts.
