Currently their biggest coup is TCF bank, which just relocated to Sioux Falls, SD from Mpls.

Don't laugh, Sioux Falls is not a bad place at all.

COLD!

Course it would be quite a coup of that global warming were to kick in.

what should piss you off about this is the immigration component and the fact that Obama seized control over the Census(hello Gerrymandering).

Maryland is so bad, residents are moving into Northern Va. to escape the burdensome Govt. and Taxes. Yet many of them are still voting Democrat but in Va., trending that state blue.

Same thing is happening in NC with immigrants from NY/NJ(New England in general) and California. Raleigh for example had one of the most conservative, pro-business, Local Govt. for a nice size city in the country 10 years ago and now its very liberal.

Same with Nevada and Colorado, both getting residents escaping California. All still voting Dem like morons, ruining these states gradually.

I'm hoping for a new country to emerge. Coast to coast, starting with Texas, and much of the South East sweeping through the Midwest, we will take conservative British Columbia(and its OIL!!!!) along with Alaska.

I nominate Sarah Palin for Queen, any seconds?

And destroying the liberties there. Fairfax schools were once some of the best in the nation, but when looking for a new superintendant, instead of hiring from w/in, they hired from Mont Co. Maryland! Which had schools w/ far more violence, and far worse academics!

(Not coincidentally, the move was praised by Wash Post writers).

I think it's happening in AZ too. Like the virus that Agent Smith discusses in The Matrix, these guys ruin their own areas, then move on to successful areas, but bring the same flawed politics/economics...

An interesting side note

No thanks...I prefer someone that has a grasp on science.
