More to the point, what do the red states win by inclining to smaller government? Well, other than smaller tax burdens for their residents, not much.

As Spanky pointed out earlier, California has one of the greatest engines of economic growth in the world, Silicon Valley. (He can't mention Hollywood because it's against the Republican ethos to say anything good about Hollywood, even if it's merely recognizing an economic powerhouse when you see one.)
California has these great engines of economic growth, however, in spite of its evil, anti-free market policies. Just like New York and Wall Street. If only New York and California emulated the great free market states of South Dakota and Nebraska, they might have real economies to brag about.
Meanwhile, the private sector is doing a wonderful job responding to the disaster in the red Gulf states, don't you think?
