How California is turning the rest of the West blue (Atlas red)

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Colorado is a lot more moderate economically where as California is more liberal.

In case you haven't noticed, D=moderate economically.

In Colorado I'm sure the D's are moderate  there economically but California they are liberal on economic issues. California is like 44th in job creation per Gallup "State of the States" stats and is 48th on Business Climate per the "Tax Foundation". Colorado is 18th in Business Climate per the "Tax Foundation". Don't have job creation stats off-hand for CO though.

Haha, you think that 'job creation' is caused by right-wing economics, don't you?

Well "The Dakotas" have the highest job creation right now and both states have Republican Governors. I'll give you Minnesota and Maryland have high job creation numbers too and they both have D Governors but I was just comparing CA to the rest of the nation in terms of job creation.

You don't think there might possibly be non-political reasons for North Dakota having good job growth?
