Will the West ever vote as a block again?

[Colin]

Problem is the west has seperated into two distinct geo-political areas the Rocky Mountains, which votes Republican, and the West Coast, which votes Democrat. The West Coast has only become heavily Democratic since the '80s with an influx of so called "Green" voters in those states and the prominence of latte liberals in California, Oregon and Washington state. So you really have to look at it as two distinct regions for an political analysis to be more accurate. Will the west vote in a block again? No probably not but will the West Coast/Rocky Mountains continue to vote in a block? Yes they will.
