Of Idaho RINOs, Hawaii DINOs

Emeritus professor Jim Weatherby sees parallels between conservative Idaho Republicans and liberal Hawaiian Democrats in their paranoid attempt to eliminate RINOs and DINOs respectively:

Just as the GOP activists in Idaho want bad-intentioned Democrats and free-thinking independents out of "their" nominating process, so do Democratic Party leaders in Hawaii, complaining about the rascal Republicans and fickle independents. Mirroring Idaho Republicans, Hawaii Democrats recently filed suit in U.S. District Court to keep the crossover undesirables from voting in their primary. And again, as in Idaho, many elected officials, Democrats in this case, opposed the lawsuit. More here.

Question: Have you lived in a one-party state dominated by Democrats?
