Can Silicon Valley disrupt the Democratic Party?
Cupertino, California (CNN) - Ro Khanna wants a show of hands.
"How many of you have heard of LinkedIn?"
The 37-year-old Indian-American Democrat, the darling of Silicon Valley's tech elite and a vehicle for their budding engagement with Washington, is addressing a cafeteria full of advanced placement government students at Cupertino High School. Most of them are Indian or Asian-American, the sons and daughters of the programmers and tech company employees who populate this neatly manicured California town where Apple is based.

Sure. Red states need the United States far more than the blue states do.
As long ad you take rick perry, bobby Jindal, rick Scott, and all bush politicians, that would be great thanks. Now all you have to do is figure out where to get two dollars back for every one paid.
That would be a simple way to balance our budget, cut out the deep red nanny states.
@salty dog: That was good. You made me laugh!!

Sure- you're the "taker" states. Saying that however, you might want to read up on American History- say, circa 1850-1870. The future wouldn't look too rosy for you faux revolutionaries of a century and a half ago.
A show of hands? An Indian socialist labor union type that left the Obama admin? My hand is down.
yes please succeed. Our economy would improve along with test scores in schools . What a wonderful world it would be.

Really? That's the value of red states? Ever hear of California, genius? Biggest agricultural producer in the US- oil and gas too. Red state America would be an instant 3rd-world hit.
I am sorry, I sent jobs to China, India, because I can give them twelve cents instead do ten dollars. I am Mitt Romney, I approve this message.
