I think we will definitely see a shift towards the Democrats in the Southwest for two reasons.
1. Social conservatism loses out to a libertarian streak. The Religious Right are and things like the Patriot Act are beginning to irritate westerners. The only issue here is the 2nd Amendment but there are plenty of pro-life Democrats so I don't foresee any problems rustling up some pro-gun ones. 2. The influx of Hispanics who generally vote Democratic. There could actually be a very sudden shift if any sort of large scale amnesty bill is passed and Democrats immediately put together any kind of Hispanic GOTV effort.
