The blue-state exodus gains momentum
Nine years ago I published a piece that asserted, �Voters around the country are concluding it�s better to be red than dead,� applying almost the exact opposite meaning to an old phrase referring to communism. New Census Bureau figures appear to confirm my prediction � mostly.

I argued that voters wanting to live in a business-friendly, fiscally responsible state that minimizes its tax burden would either vote out the liberals destroying their state�s economy or flee to a red state. The latest Census Bureau report highlights the red-state shift.
