Heh....anyone who thinks demand for housing is a blue-state/red-state/political thing needs to spend a little time in the trenches working with actual real-live human beings who want to buy the stuff--not to mention learning a little something about why they want to buy it.

Anytime I see a post like this, I'm fairly well convinced the poster doesn't own real estate, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, has no reason to own any.

Seldom productive to try to speak for the legions of buyers and sellers out there in the U.S.--much less try to attribute the actions or desires of these folks to the political environment.

Well certainly rapid housing appreciation lately has been primarily in blue states. Ironic too that most of the wealth is concentrated in those blue state who benefit the most from Bush tax cuts.

<housing is a big thing primarily a blue states (except florida) no? why do you think the Bush administration will try to keep it afloat? i mean, why wouldn't they bleed the blue states until they turn blood red? :)>
