ETA: Any one have any ideas why cost of living is so much higher in blue states than red states? I'll admit that one of the reasons I'm not thrilled about the prospect of leaving my red state (aside from that stupid Texas pride thing that I share with my state-mates) is it's really, really cheap to live here.... I'm not sure I could afford to move back to California.

The blue states tend to have higher employment rates and higher incomes. The red states generally retain fairly traditional economies with significant amounts of surplus labor that keeps wages down.
But, they're all pretty happy anyway because they know God loves them.
