I've noticed a trend thats been occuring since the 90s.  What's up with all the Democrats that transplant/move to a Republican state, often change the demographics of a state? Examples are Californians moving to Oregon, Washington and Nevada. Before the '88 election, they were fairly moderate states.

Is there ever a way Republican transplants moved to a Democrat state, it trends GOP?  Why are the GOP weak when it comes to getting out the vote early compared to Obama's GOTV? Do Republicans move out of state to find something that resembles the past?
Actually, a lot of that also had to do with social issues as well, and how Bill Clinton won the suburbanites over for the Democrats in '92, and they've never looked back.  Likewise, many Southern states that had been Democrat-leaning berfore trended GOP after Republican transplants started moving to those states.
