LAT says loyalty to GOP tested

Consistent with past practice (publish bad news about Republicans, good about Democrats,) the LAT publishes today a piece by Maura Reynolds about how former Republicans are deserting the party because the housing market is in decline. The piece is based entirely on a few anecdotes from a single county in a single state. It almost seems the LAT had a quota to fill (of GOP bad news) and couldn't come up with anything better.
