Yes, Charleston is nice - I lived my teenage years there and have a son living there now.I spent five weeks in Charleston late last summer thanks to the Air National Guard, and I often fantasize about moving down there. Connecticut's latest round of gun control laws only serve to deepen that wish. However, I have obligations here so moving is not an option right now.
I would love to see Colt pick up and move too, just to watch the governor squirm, but I'd rather those jobs stay here.
About 80% of the people I know move to North Carolina when they retire.
Please don't. That is why NC is now considered a "purple" state. Once again, people move to a state and then try to make it into the place that they left.
There's no proof that the people moving to NC are the ones changing it. It seems more likely that the people moving to a place are doing it because they like it, and want it to stay the way it is.

Maybe it's an internal demographic change, maybe it's the school system, different generations and different thinking, etc... There's a lot of factors that change political climate.
Well...it's happened to Austin, to Boulder CO, to New Mexico, to parts of Nevada, starting to happen to Phoenix, etc. Transplanted Californians always "liberal up" their new home town, so to speak. I see no reason why that wouldn't be true of transplanted New Englanders.
