I don't doubt this at all. Although it greatly depends on how the GOP can court the Hispanic vote

Also, you could make the same stupid statement about Delaware.
You're putting words in my mouth. I dont think it's stupid, but you're entitled to your opinion.

No, it's because of a gimmick system designed to exploit the way taxation works in the United States, just like Texas is trying to do.
Hah, correct me if I'm wrong here. The way that tax system loophole works is most of those companies have their "corporate" office there. Manned by a secretary or something to qualify them for the tax savings. Then the rest of the company is where ever it's cheapest to manufacture their goods(or whatever their product is). This really isn't a strong argument to support liberal policies. This is going to change very soon, I believe, because one of our "territories" is offering a better deal. I just got off a 16 hour shift and don't recall which one at the moment. I read about it a few months ago.

Hah, and it has nothing to do with cali's huge state debt(over 400 billion), ridiculously high taxes(12.5% for top earners, combined with the top federal income tax rate of 39.6% for 52.1%. They don't even get to keep half of what they gross) , or crime rate(nearly 3 times the national median of crimes per square mile?

Same thing happened to Detroit in the 70's. The local democrats that were elected to office raised taxes on the rich and middle class. So they moved out of Detroit. Same thing is happening in Cali. It's amazing how much money was thrown at the Detroit experiment trying to make it work. Yet it failed, miserably. A once proud city is an empty shell of its former glory. I'm sure you've heard they are selling single family homes for $1000 in some areas. As well as trying to completely demolish others(neighborhoods, not just single houses).

You can keep those liberal policies you seem to argue for so fervently. I'll keep my money, guns, and freedoms. Stay out of Nevada!

It's an acquired taste, for sure. I'm a redneck, guilty as charged.

The fact that hucksters like Beck, Paul, and Hannity are millionaires that some people take very seriously, and that anyone thinks Ayn Rand was a political and economic visionary, just proves that PT Barnum grossly underestimated the spawn rate of suckers.

You are clearly confused about the distinctions between existential nihilism and political nihilism.
