Californians are fleeing in droves to live in better-managed states, according to a conservative research group.
The long-running exodus from the cash-strapped Golden State is an old story, but a new study by The Manhattan Institute finds that the biggest beneficiaries of the population drain are Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Georgia and South Carolina. Lower cost of living, less government debt and a more business-friendly culture are the main drivers, according to the study.
"States that have gained the most at California’s expense are rated as having better business climates," the study concluded. "The data suggest that many cost drivers —taxes, regulations, the high price of housing and commercial real estate, costly electricity, union power, and high labor costs — are prompting businesses to locate outside California, thus helping to drive the exodus."

They'll go to the new state and vote in the same liberal policies that ruined their old state.
"Don't come screw mine up, fix yours"
that's funny, i heard maryland residents are doing the same...
California transpants are the reason that states like Colorado and Montana are going liberal--they migrate from their own craphole they created and screw up a Conservative sate with their liberal moronic ideas.
I live in Maryland , just installed a pitcher pump well , and an outhouse. If obamie wins:
