Well my state has been trending R long enough.
Oklahoma used to be somewhat in the opposite direction with Dixiecrats dominating in most places outside of the Tulsa area and maybe the northwestern part of the state.  Granted those Democrats were a lot more conservative than the average Democrat so it's not like much has changed anyway............
Not saying I would prefer blue state domination but a liberal or two would make things interesting.

I don't like the fact that my state have been trending towards the Democrats since Prescott Bush was in office.
Hopefully parts of the state (like Lichtfield County) will become more competitive in the future, as it really has no business being a Democratic One-Party state.

Hey now, you Republicans got 16 years as Governor and almost won in 2010. You also go to elect Joe Lieberman to the US Senate.

Indeed we did, but that is chickensh**t compared to having full controll of the state legislature and the Congressional delegation, as the Democrats have today.

Don't you mean "horsesh*t"?  Cos Chickensh**t means being ascared.

Maybe my solutions wouldn't be necessary if companies cared more about helping the U.S. economy at large than their own personal finances. Neoliberalism simply takes advantage of foreign labor and takes that labor from higher-paid American workers; in addition, both Democrats and Republicans seem more willing to spend money on Libya than East St. Louis. The New Democrats' squishiness on fiscal policy has allowed the most dangerous political party since the NSDAP to continually hook more strings onto the government, hoisted by those same corporate elites you idolize. And all the while, the party with a supposed duty to stand up for the working class people of all races willingly gives up health care and living wage rights for the far right to consider raising the top tax rate from 36% to 39%. Why not 50%, as it was under Reagan Christ?

If you truly do prefer winning the Kardashian vote to winning in Michigan, or Missouri, or Pennsylvania, go ahead. You're not welcome among what once was the party that stood up for true justice and equality, not just based on who you sleep with.

So winning at least 250 (270 to win) Electoral Votes in every election since 1992 is the Democrats writing off voters and "winning the Kardashian vote"?
Since the hell when?
