I have a cousin in Idaho and she voted for Obama so Dems do live in ID. It is a beautiful place and Boise seems nice. So if I have to move to a red state it would be Idaho.

1. Texas.
I used to work long-distance for an NPO in Houston and had to fly down there 4-5 times a year. I actually really like TX. Also, I'm a city kid and it's one of the few red states with truly major cities.

Edited on Thu Dec-04-08 01:43 AM by Flaxbee
from Arizona, which would be another choice of mine. Sedona. Sigh.

Forgot Montana, though with two Dem. senators and a Dem. governor, and my best friend who is very liberal lives there, it just didn't dawn on me to consider it 'red'.

5. I could never live in Arizona, namely because of the climate.
Considering I've lived my whole life on the coast of Northern California, where anything over 85-90 is considered scorching, living in Phoenix or Tucson would be my idea of hell on Earth.

9. That's entirely different though.
Yeah "it's a dry heat" may be an old cliche, but it's the truth. Down in the southeast, you guys got some serious humidity to go with the heat. Virtually none in AZ, so 100 degrees in the desert would probably "feel" closer to 85 in heavy humidity. Now of course when it gets up to 115 or 120, that's just damn hot anywhere, and god help you if you don't have A/C or at least a "swamp cooler" (though those things seem useless to me)

The extreme humidity gets to me long before extreme heat would. If I want to be dripping in sweat, I'll go in a sweat lodge and do so properly.

34. Humidity keeps things green. That's why I don't think I could live out west.
I'd sweat a little more just to have plenty of greenery around me and the lower threat of a forest fire. After seeing the reports from CA a couple of weeks ago, that's one less thing that would draw me to live there.

4. Probably Montana, although it's more "purple" nowadays.
The scenery is absolutely transcendent, just jaw-dropping. And if I was ever inclined to go fishing/hunting, that would be damn near the perfect place.

62. It wasn't really that bad
They were 13-15 in August and 13-13 in September, so not exactly a nose dive. But we went 17-8 in September, so... :D

Still, if you guys had won just a couple more games that month, it woulda been a lot different.

49. Oh yeah chere!
specifically, la Nouvelle-Orleans.

Somebody from Hawai'i (I'm not saying who :-) ) just sent a resume there, as a matter of fact. And he wouldn't be the only one, either. While I was there a couple of years ago, I went to a citywide march against the violence that haunts the place -- and ran into a young woman who had recently relocated there from, I believe, Maui!

30. no thanks
There are a few factors that have to be considered for me to live somewhere. The first is climate, I need four seasons and I actually LIKE winter, and I HATE when summers get above 85 (Central a/c is a foreign concept for me as I've never lived anywhere with it). The second is that I have to be within 50 miles of an ocean.

I don't think that any red state fits that criteria for me. If you were talking about 2004 MAYBE VA but that's it.

32. Some place warm. I'm thinking GA, SC near the ocean.
Arizona is warm, but way too dry and not near the ocean.

I think the benefits of living near the coast in a temperate climate would probably offset its conservatism.

Hell, Florida was a red state until a month ago and I had no plans to leave, and loved it all the same. Even in a blue state in Maryland where I lived before, I lived in a red county and it was still not too bad.

40. I live in a purple county
in blue NJ, but the county just south of me might as well be Oklahoma. My county's results were 51-48 McCain-Obama. The county south was more of a 66-33 divide but I don't have the numbers handy.

The Republicans don't bother me (we have a very high senior population here). However I also don't live in a state with a high evangelical population either.

I just couldn't live in the South due to the weather, and the fact that I'm a native NYer would make me instant enemies.

45. I live in a purple county too
although most of the more urban parts of Anne Arundel County, MD like Annapolis and the areas surrounding Baltimore City went for Obama, the exurban west and rural south county areas were overwhelmingly for McCain. It was something like 120,000 votes for McCain-114,000 for Obama. close, and thus Anne Arundel county is a purple county in a very, very blue state.

Although I live in one already (Texas, which isn't half bad), I've always had a little soft spot in my heart for Maine (Maine's red, yes?). Specifically, Appleton, Maine. I've never been to Appleton, or even Maine-- but the place holds the mythological equivalent of Capra's 'Bedford Falls' in my own little world.

Lighthouses, forests, actual snow(!), granite coastlines, eerie fogs, the northern lights, small towns, etc. How could I *not* a place like Maine?

Dakotas, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming. Maybe Nebraska or Kansas.

Not the Old Confederacy because I don't want to be sweating my butt off 9 months out of the year, and not Utah because of the Mormans. And Idaho and Alaska are all mountains, whereas I prefer flatter terrain to live on.

Mountains are nice to visit, though.

78. I liked Atlanta OK when I lived there
I don't know about Idaho, I live in Washington, and Idaho just kinda seems like what Eastern Washington would be if it was its own state, only with a lot more Mormons.

It is pretty though - you're right about that, especially the northern panhandle.

83. The one I'm in...
I love it here. It's a beautiful place and there's never a dull moment politically speaking.
