You Could, But It'd Be Boring As Hell
It seems that the College Republicans had some free time living off of Mommy and Daddy's credit cards, and decided to take a trip cross-country to explore the great red wilderness. According to their website, "Republicans can truly boast to being a coast-to-coast party, with the ability to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific without ever touching a Democrat controlled district." Yes, but...
It's true you can do this--even though Republicans control only about 100 miles of the Pacific Coast, in southern California--but they're not doing it. For one thing, on their blog they boast about having already visited Turner Field in Atlanta (in Democrat John Lewis's district) and Lamar Alexander's campaign office in Nashville (in Democrat Jim Cooper's district). Also, they say they will "will proceed through Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa into the Republican strongholds of Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma." They'll be disappointed to learn that Indiana's entire western border is represented by Democrats (Peter Visclosky's 1st District and Brad Ellsworth's 8th), and so is Iowa's entire border with Illinois (Bruce Braley's 1st District and Dave Loebsack's 2nd).
Apparently driving past farms, McMansions and Wal-marts wasn't too enticing so they had to stop in on a little Democratic civilization.

Thanks to Congressman Travis Childers, the Mississippi-Alabama border now prevents them from going to any crossing south of that.
