Arizona elected Janet Napolitano Governor.a lot of north easterners are headed to Scottsdale and Phoenix,and that's what happened to California cheap education and great weather.i think midway should consider the long term effects of there decision(i'm sure they have a good reason)mc
You are correct and it was fluke. There was great voter disatisfaction after Governor Symington(R) was forced to resign upon his conviction in regared to irregularities in a real estate investment. Even then she was barely elected running against a Republican unknown. In her time in office she almost bankrupted Arizona. When the State treasurer,who I personally know, tried to sit down with her to go over finances she got up and walked out of the office.
When Jan Brewer took over Arizona as Governor the State was running with a major budget deficit and it took her almost 4 years working with a Republican legislature to dig us out of that hole. Last year Arizona actually had a budget surplus. I actually wrote a letter to Obama thanking him for getting Napolitano the hell out of Arizona.
Keep in mind: This is the same Napolitano,as head of Homeland Security, who last year declared the "The border is more secure then it's ever been". This is just ONE of the major lies she told while in that position.
We've had an influx of Californians and other liberals here for years. Fortunately this has been largely offset by those who move here for the same reasons I did. And that was to get away from an oppressive government like the one in my former State of Illinois.

Update:
I didn't mean to imply that everyone from California was a liberal. Although many are, particularly in the big cities ,I have relatives in the more rural areas who are conservative and appalled with what's going on there.
