Census Confirms: People Fleeing States Governed by Locusts -- eh, I mean Democrats

It was Mark Levin, I believe, who first observed that "Democrats are like locusts -- they destroy everything they touch; moving from state to state with their Utopian schemes, destroying one after the other."

The 2010 Census results confirm this assessment, revealing today that residents and businesses are fleeing Blue States like Tokyo after Godzilla's first dance-dance revolution. Don't believe me: check the maps. First, here's the official Census guide to Congressional puts and takes.

Now let's compare that map to the 2008 Electoral College results.

Eyeballing the differences yields the following counts:

+4 TX Red 34 --> 38 +2 FL Blue 27 --> 29 (2.5% margin) +1 GA Red 15 --> 16 +1 SC Red 8 --> 9 +1 AZ Red 10 --> 11 +1 UT Red 5 --> 6 +1 NV Blue 5 --> 6 +1 WA Blue 11 --> 12 -1 NJ Blue 15 --> 14

-1 MA Blue 12 --> 11 -1 PA Blue 21 --> 20 -1 MI Blue 17 --> 16 -1 IL Blue 21 --> 20 -1 IA Blue 7 --> 6 -1 LA Red 9 --> 8 -1 MO Red 11 --> 10 (0.1% margin) -2 OH Blue 20 --> 18 -2 NY Blue 31 --> 29

Remember that the 2008 results were skewed thanks to a slobberingly complicit media and a branding campaign worthy of a new Verizon phone. All those factors notwithstanding, however, the GOP appears to have gained 11 House seats and Electoral College votes.

Gee, I'm no Fred Einstein, but we could be detecting a trend. Barack Obama and the Party of Massive Economic Destruction (which is the slogan they prefer, I hear) could be positioned for a 1980 Carter-style implosion or, better yet, a full-frontal Dukakis. All it takes is some hard work mobilizing real Americans to protect the Constitution.
