I know people talk about TX, but honestly, I'd need to see the results that show it's trending that way before I really believe it. I know it was a battleground state in the 1990's, but then W. Bush carried it by 22 points, McCain carried it by 12 points in a TERRIBLE year for Republicans, and then Romney carried it by 16 points. GA, AZ, MT, ND and SD all were purple-red at best in 2008, yet TX remained uncompetitive. Sure, it could easily become competitive in 20-25 years, but anything quicker than that I'm not even going to think about believing until I see actual presidential election results that prove it.
VA and NC are trending democratic, as are GA and possibly AZ and FL. A lot of the south, including the once-competitive state of MO, is actually trending republican.
