In 2012 we had over 5 states that were considered swing states like Nevada, Colorado, Virginia, Florida, New Hampshire, Ohio etc.  Do the same states stay like this in the next century or will more states fit into this category in the future? What will it take for Texas and California to become swing states?

Florida's diversity makes me think it will always be a swing state. I also can't envision Virginia ever not being in contention, although it is certainly marching toward the Dems.

If Puerto Ricans keep moving in mass to the Orlando area and Cubans continue to move away from the Republicans, Florida could get scary for Republicans. Republicans only hope is that seniors counter that trend and continue to move to the right. Most of these trends have been taking place since 2004.

Will be interesting to see what the numbers look like in 2016 around Orlando (Puerto Ricans), Miami-Dade (Cubans), and Palm Beach (Olds) to see if recent trends continue.

Then again Florida might not exist by the end of the century due to climate change.
