To be honest, I don't know what I'd do in that possible event. I do still feel that blues should stay and fight to keep America balanced....but if in the wake of the Bush Admin we still can't elect a Democrat to the White House......???

Might I offer a 3rd way;

If you want to stay and fight move to a swing state. Otherwise might as well leave. I mean..... What can you do in California that you can't do from New Zealand or Malaysia?

Actually California is pretty much a purple state. As Alex has pointed out, local politics is red, national politics is blue.

Fair enough. But if the reason you are leaving or staying be because of the Party who is in charge of the White House........would it not be more effective to live in a swing state such as Ohio, or even Nevada?

You assume the impetus is to fix things. I believer her point is that if the perceived disaster of the Bush administration isn't enough to prod a national course correction, perhaps it's time to give up.

The viability of polling has been discussed, but I will find it interesting to see what changes, or doesn't after the debate and spin this evening.

She mentioned staying and fighting....I was offering her a way to do that more effectively.

There you go.....although I wouldn't consider Alabama a swing state just yet; maybe you and CP could be the vanguard.
