As someone who lives in one of those states (Texas), my plan for doing something is: leave as soon as possible. Ann Richards was the last governor I actually liked or agreed with. Since then, we've hit a downslide into the morass of conservative politics and there's no end in sight. I thank <deity> daily that we don't have Sam Brownback in charge, but the next likely candidate for governor after Abbot is probably our current AG and he makes Abbott look like a pinko commie. We live in a much more mobile society that we used to. While it's certainly not easy to move a new locale that has much more amenable politics, among other things, it's not unthinkable or impossible anymore.
