I agree with Mr. Kaufman that these states will most likely vote blue once again. “Old Democrats” are very hard to change. I have a very, very conservative grandfather who has never voted for a Republican, because he still sees the Democrat party as the same party it was in the 30′s and 40′s.
Ari’s commentary about the ethnic origins of some of these areas is an interesting one. It is possible that as the generations are further removed from their socialist Scandinavian roots, the gap may close.
Another excellent article, Mr. Kaufman!
